You can look at the list of packages that will be removed and from that list, you can pick the packages you still want. After removing the many packages, make the DMO repository unavailable and just re-install the few packages you want. I tried it a while ago, using aptitude. 268 packages were removed --- about five of them I wanted and re-installed them. So far, I'm not missing anything. -- Debian testing amd64 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
