Removing a package AND dependant packages
I'm remastering a Knoppix installation. This PC won't boot a Knoppix CD. Only the DVD. And because I'd like to get it under, say, 300 MB, this will make it more difficult.
I'm in the APT stage of this FAQ. I want to remove all packages I don't need. And there are a LOT of those. For example, I don't need anything related to X/X11/Xorg/KDE/you-know-what-I-mean. I read there that
Code:
apt-get remove --purge the-package
will delete that package AND all packages dependant on it. However, when I try to remove xorg or kde-core this way, no packages other than just the one are deleted. (Or so sais the confirmation message.)
I certainly hope I'm not supposed to delete 4 GB of packages individually.
Could someone please help me out with this?
Thanks!
