To list the partitions of a disk image:

$ fdisk -l mydisk.img
Disk mydisk.img: 15 GiB, 16088301568 bytes, 31422464 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

About Lenghts

From https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/16956:

\textwidth is generally the global width of the text area, while \columnwidth is the width of a column of text (it will be different from \textwidth when typesetting in two or more columns). However, inside a minipage, \textwidth will be set to the given argument along with \hsize, \columnwidth, and \linewidth (they will revert to the previous values at the end of the minipage because it forms a group). Note that \parbox doesn't reset \textwidth; the size is available as \linewidth.

The parameter \linewidth contains the line length inside a list (or derived) environment and it may change in a nested list (while \hsize, \textwidth and \columnwidth don't change). >

Slimming Down Raspbian Stretch Lite

Notes for slimming down a fresh installation of Raspbian Stretch Lite. This guide does not strip Raspbian of basic functionality such as Bluetooth and mDNS.
