That's not going to get rid of the GNOME stuff. Those packages just depend on lots of other packages; you need to actually go off and remove those packages too (generally gnome-*) to really purge GNOME. tf> I also stumbled on the fact that, for some reason, apt-get install mc tf> also gets rid of them. unless one of you guys yells at me, this is tf> probably the method that I will use, as I want some of the pre-gnome tf> functionality of mc. Well, mc conflicts with gmc, and I believe task-gnome-desktop depends on that. So that will cause the task-gnome-desktop package -- but not anything else it depends on, like for example gnome-panel -- to be removed. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://donut.mit.edu/dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
