Well... ours /does/ take up less disk space :-). I had no idea about deborphan before; will have to investigate it more fully. It seems very useful, though. Thanks for letting me know about it. There is another debian-related script at my site. It simply looks for packages you've removed but not purged and gives you the chance to purge them. OK; I'm going to brace myself for the news that this has been done before too :-). bye just now, -- Matthew T.
