I'd try this: dpkg --purge gnome That should remove gnome and all of its extra packages. Then it's just a matter of apt-get install the packages you need (e.g. apt-get install epiphany-browser). As you apt-get install packages, you'll be presented with a list of dependencies and can abort the install if you don't like what you see. - Ken -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
