  <title>Remove Unnecessary Files</title>

  <para>Well we have this system finished, we can make it smaller by
  removing files that are not necessary for our build. On this page
  we remove the bloat from our build.</para>

  <para>Now let's create a backup of our build:</para>

<screen><userinput>install -dv ${CLFS}-final
cp -arv ${CLFS}/* ${CLFS}-final/</userinput></screen>

  <para>Let's remove the files we don't need anymore:</para>

<screen><userinput>rm -rfv ${CLFS}-final/cross-tools
rm -rfv ${CLFS}-final/usr/src/*
rm -rfv ${CLFS}-final/usr/include
rm -rfv ${CLFS}-final/usr/man
rm -rfv ${CLFS}-final/usr/share/man</userinput></screen>

  <para>Let's remove the static libaries:</para>

<screen><userinput>FILES="$(ls ${CLFS}-final/lib/*.a ${CLFS}-final/usr/lib/*.a)"
for file in $FILES; do
 rm -fv $file
done</userinput></screen>
