I applaud your efforts in doing this Just Because, intellectual curiosity, comfort food for the programming soul, etc. Richard. Just Because I was curious I ran 'apt install basic256' and got this: 0 upgraded, 43 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded. Need to get 21.0 MB of archives. After this operation, 60.3 MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y Hmmm, pot, kettle corpulent is in the eye of the dependency, etc. :-) I'm no expert but several of the extras seem to be qt4 related. I don't grok qt4, just guessing based on console output. This was on a Ubuntu Server 16.04.1 LTS box used mostly for Samba and WeeWx purposes, with little else added from the base non-GUI install. Have fun, NealS _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
