As Andrei has said, 'if I was going there then I wouldn't start from here..'. It really would be a lot quicker to reinstall than to spend days trying to identify what you need to remove. When the time comes in the installer, don't select anything at all, remove all the ticks, and you will get a fairly minimal console-only installation. Alternatively, remove the Display Manager (gdm, xdm, etc.) and whatever GUI you have remaining should never start, you should boot into just a console. Only if you have a really tiny hard drive will the wasted space be a problem. -- Joe
