If you use aptitude, or synaptic then you must to manually select there packages you want to purge. After you have purged those packages, you should to purge orphaned packages, I think. For this you may to use 'sudo aptitude purge $(deborphan)' command. -- Regards, Paul Csanyi http://www.freewebs.com/csanyi-pal/index.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
