Actually, is that a list of all available packages? It shows that some
are set 'deinstall':
mysql-common deinstall
mysql-common-4.1 install
If I want to reduce the number of packages on my Debian installation to
the minimum that I actually use, I need to go through them all in
aptitude (where I can see the descriptions) and remove them?
I tried setting the ones I didn't think were necessary to Automatic,
since it looked like a safe option, apparently they will be removed if
they aren't being depended on. However when I hit g, I found aptitude
downloaded 20 megs more packages!
What's the best way to do it?
Thanks
Adam
