Yes, 'debfoster' is a neat tool. I usually install and run it straight after the first minimal system installation and then regularly after installing additional packages. When you have the 'Install-Recommends' and 'Install-Suggests' options disabled in your 'apt' config, it keeps track of the manually selected additional packages; if an in depth maintenance is desired, there are the '--no-keeperfile' and '-ignore-default-rules' options. libre Grüße, Florian _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
