Just keep trying to remove GNOME packages as you find them. the deborphan package can help. GNOME is like a virus in that it seems to embed itself rather deeply in one's installation. I use Aptitude in IU mode as a fine scalpel to remove what I can of it. Some useful packages like the Gimp use some GNOME libraries and since there is really no substitute for the Gimp, I live with it. - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
