Some files from the packages will still be around.

Even after a purge, I think log files are left behind -- basically anything generated by the program at run-time will be because the package manager doesn't track it. How small does this list get after you run (aptitude purge '~c')? -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
