They aren't enabled by default unless you specify something different inside grml2hd. :) The script remove-packages-server provides the following dialog within grml2hd: | Which packages would you like to keep? | | Some packages are useful only for server systems. Some other | packages provide cron jobs you probably do not want to run. It is | recommended to remove those packages. | [...] So just run remove-packages-server on your system and make sure you remove all the packages you definitely don't need. regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc
