If you installed the packages using aptitude, they can be automatically removed, because aptitude keeps trak of packages installed because of dependencies. I don't thikn apt does that, but you could still use deborphan (e.g. deborphan -a --guess-all | less). However that way you have to work through the list of all packages that are not needed by other packages, which may be some unneeded library, of your favorite email client. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
