Hi all,
So Debian is snack eh ? :-) I am trying to do a dist-upgrade from potato to woody but dont have enough space in /var for the deb archives (have 70Meg need 120 Meg). As gnome is big and I dont actually use it I though I would remove that which would free up lots of space and those updates for gnome would not get downloaded. But when I ask the system to remove gnome (guessing that I remove gnome-core and the dependency info will remove the other gnomeish things) it wants to install new packages. > apt-get remove gnome-core Reading Package Lists...
