applications-what where
apologies first for the question as I know absolutely nothing. Having read through the remastering how to and not really understanding it I am reading a few tutorials. I have installed Knoppix 3.7 to my harddrive and would like to remaster it. I have a list of the general contents and a list of what I assume are about 10 pages of files of which I have no idea what they are and whether to remove them. Where can I find out what the applications are ( especially any critical ones) and what I can do with them? Also where are they. From reading I have seen that things like the language files and the office applications may be removed but I don't know where they are.

if you read the apt-howto on the Debian site you will find some of the answers.
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/ap.../index.en.html
especially the part with package removal.
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/-h....html#s-remove
basically i would do a;
Code:
apt-get --purge remove aplication
the comand above should remove the aplication and its configfiles... BUT this may remove more things aswell that are dependant or a part of said aplication, you simply have to read some more on what each package does.
The following options to apt-get may be useful:
-h help text.
-d Download only - do NOT install or unpack archives
-f Attempt to continue if the integrity check fails
-s No-act. Perform ordering simulation
-y Assume Yes to all queries and do not prompt
-u Show a list of upgraded packages as well
keep reading and ask if you want more.

You can get a despcripton of a package with-
apt-cache search package_name
And removing this way-
apt-get remove --purge application
will tell you what else will be removed and give you the option to abort, as well as show the amount of space you would free up.

Thanks for taking the time to reply so quickly. I guess I'll get on with my homework now.

packages
to see packages and descriptions on your system do
dpkg-query -l >out.txt
the text file will be in the root directory
