One aptitude purge and one aptitude install later, and the list is 4 shorter. I have to go now. I'll come back to this soon, and work through the list either purging or installing according to whether I think we want whatever it is. Most will probably need installing, so I am sure I could automate it via aptitude and dpkg - but that is an exercise for another day. Thank you very much. Lisi
