-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Help the guy...don't just tell him it can be done:
First use the gui or command line to remove all graphical software like xchat and vlc, because you can't use gui tools on the command line. You can use that fancy add/remove packages program(gnome-app-install) but first save all your current selections just incase you want to go back...do this in xterm: cd; sudo dpkg --get-selections > myinstalledselections That will output a long list of all installed .debs on the system to myinstalledselections...yes it is very long. Open a virtual terminal with strg-alt-F1 then run this to remove gnome and the xserver: sudo apt-get remove gnome xserver-xorg You can also clear out your /var/cache/apt/archive directory to free up space: sudo apt-get clean I'm not sure but there might be other xserver packages still installed so you can do a search to find additional packages: sudo dpkg -S xserver-xorg* If you want to go back to your gui and all your other programs then do this: cd; sudo dpkg --set-selections < myinstalledselections; sudo apt-get -u dselect-upgrade Das Wars Intrepid Ibex wrote: | Hello everybody out there using Linux ;-), | | I am using Ubuntu 8.10 with a GNOME Desktop.
