Not that I know of. There is an option to not *automatically* remove recommended packages (Aptitude::Keep-Recommends), but that is on by default. If you explicitly request a package be removed, aptitude assumes you want to do that -- and will even remove other packages that would have broken "hard"/"strong" dependencies (Conflicts/Depends) unsatisfied. Aptitude will also propose solutions that involve removing recommended packages, but it weights these as badly as removing any other package. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
