(1) How do I purge the system of openoffice.org - nice tool, just too bulky in this case - it gets installed in /opt/openoffice and while I could just delete this directory it won't purge the system of the config files and remove openoffice.org from the 'KDE menu'.
apt-get --purge remove openoffice-de-en
(2) What about getting rid of KDE...? It's eating too much memory and I'm quite happy in something like evilwm. I've tried apt-get --purge remove kde*, but that wants to remove a whole chunk of other things that I'd rather not lose like hotplug, initrd-tools, pcmcia-cs, and others... I've removed bit by bit a bunch of KDE apps, but that's a pretty time consuming and not particularly helpful... surely there's a neater way of doing this?
apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4
(3) I guess I also don't need the knoppix specific stuff... it's a great installer, but some of that stuff ain't necessary if a hd-install is supposed to be just plain ole' Debian!
Many thanks...
dpkg -l | grep knoppix* then remove the packages listed.
