You mean you went to this dir:

.../2.4.19/arch

$ ls
total 17K
1.0K alpha/ 1.0K i386/ 2.0K mips/
1.0K arm/ 1.0K ia64/ 1.0K mips64/
1.0K cris/ 1.0K m68k/ 1.0K parisc/

1.0K ppc/ 1.0K s390x/ 1.0K sparc64/
1.0K ppc64/ 1.0K sh/
1.0K s390/ 1.0K sparc/

and deleted every dir except i386?

That would remove about 28MB!

Any guidelines handy? List of all the dirs you deleted?

I'll make a webpage out of it for your site, if you do.

That surprises me, considering what you do.

For myself, I plan on deleting anything to do with locales and
unicode, other character sets, etc... Us-ascii is all I need. I
don't read or write any other languages and don't plan to and
there's no point in anyone mailing me in any other language.

Art Bell is on now. I'm off to the O-Zone :-)
