Pass --no-install-recommends to apt or just manually uninstall the
desired packages afterwards - tex does pull in a lot of stuff (but then
those files do contain a lot of extra assets like fonts, etc as well).
In your case you'd probably want to purge the file first to avoid your
system pulling them in the first place: I imagine it's not so much the
size of the packages themselves, it's downloading them all on a slow
line which is the problem.
So is everyone upgrading to 18.04 then? We're still a month too early
for 18.10 so I guess so.
Cheers
