Just as a miscellaneous reference point, I recently reinstalled Debian on my laptop, partly in order to move to full disk encryption, and partly as a drastic way to remove accumulated cruft. Instead of doing the --get-selection --set-selection thing, I just did a minimal install and then added things back as I needed them. I currently have 624 packages installed, and that's with build-essential, X, a large chunk of Xfce (but not all of it), several (mostly relatively lightweight) X apps (liferea, sylpheed, geany, mplayer), iceweasel, openoffice.org writer, and sundry other stuff. > p.p.s. i'm starting to like this debian thing more and more. :-) +1 Celejar -- mailmin.sourceforge.net - remote access via secure (OpenPGP) email ssuds.sourceforge.net - A Simple Sudoku Solver and Generator -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
