Once i have the description of the packages , i would give apt-get remove the names of the packages to be deleted/uninstalled.
Right now using synaptic i have to manually see the description of each installed package one by one. This involves multiple keyboard and mouse entries. There is already a text file called installed-software.txt which has a list of packages already installed. i want to pass the names of the packages in this file to apt-get so that i get the description of the packages in another text file. Then i can pick and choose packages as needed by me and uninstall the rest via a single command. Using command line interface is much faster and simpler than using synaptic for big tasks. Thanks for your help. Kussh -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
