[newbie] "apt-get remove CRUD" howto?
Hi,
I just did the hdinstall, and was hoping to be able to select exactly what I want to install.
Unfortunately not. Is there any way I can use apt-get to obtain a list of packages and uninstall some of them?? How (I dont know apt-get too well) and
root@mybox:/# apt-get remove
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
root@mybox:/#
Thanks
Anders

if you're running KDE, there's a program called "Kpackage" that lets you install/uninstall/upgrade packages with a GUI interface. I believe it's located in K-Menu under "System" or "Settings".
As you'll soon find out, though, file dependancies are a bitch. Its one of the things I really miss about Windows: "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel.
Otherwise, if you're a command line junky you can use dselect which is a menu driven interface for dpkg.
Finally, if you're a purist, you can get a list of all the packages installed using the following command:

Thanks
Thank you,
"dpkg -l" is just what I was looking for....
actually I also discovered some of the smaller distributions, here on www.knoppix.net
I might try those if I loose my patience uninstalling
See ya
