I keep my system pretty lean. I use aptitude and have all packages properly marked as auto/noauto, so I should have no cruft left lying around. I always purge packages and regularly check for removed packages and purge them. So the stuff in /etc/gconf is for packages installed. I can't reduce the bloat by removing unwanted packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
