Dear all
As a Debian n00b I enthusiastically gorged myself on the wonders and
ease of apt-get. Now, having recovered from my initial over-indulgence,
like one considers one's post-festive waistline, I am wanting to figure
out a way to rid myself of packages that I don't use, orphan files, and
other random bits of software detritus.
I am running an Etch -> Lenny, and have deborphan installed. I am very
wary of just launching into it though because it seemed to call up a lot
of files and I don't - obviously - want to break anything.
Can someone point me in the direction of some guides/pointers that are
current and reliable, or even share some personal experiences of
trimming down the "fat".
Many thanks for any help.
Andy
What I ended up doing is creating a script to install my system. That
script has exactly what I want and I keep updating it.
But it will take time to do installs and finding out what is missing or
superfluous
