Dear Colleagues, A production system, especially a desktop system, tends to accumulate unnecessary packages. Users install software for testing, then forget about it, or it falls into disuse...
In FreeBSD, you can always run "pkg delete -a" and return to the post-install state (well, almost). This command will remove all the third-party packages added to the base system after installation (modified files under /usr/local/ will remain). What's the procedure for Debian? -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN 2:5005/49@fidonet http://vas.tomsk.ru/
