I've just installed Knopix on my laptop and I was wanting to remove the extra "baggae" that came with it that would only slow down my operation.
I've checked /var/logs for a install log but didnt see one, is there a listing somewhere that will tell me where to find the info I'm looking for.
Thanks
Being nobody answerd my question I finally found an answer.
Q: Is there a way to list all of the packages installed on a
system through dpkg?
A: dpkg -l |grep ^(i|h)
--Here's an example script:
BEGIN /root/bin/knx-freshinstall-purgedebs
Code:#!/bin/bash
# Note - you can get pkg size with ' dpkg -s '
function deldeb
{
echo " --- Deleting: $1"
apt-get remove --purge --assume-yes $1
}

There are also some users who have written & posted some scripts for customizing Knoppix but I haven't use any of them personally (been playing with Mandrake for a while) ( but RPM's are a PITA, even with rpmDrake. I think I'm going to go back to Knoppix, it's the easiest way I know to get a Debian system & apt-get.)
