Unlike others I want a "really" lean Kanotix. Email, surf, photo's,
gps mapping, that's about it. Anybody see or had any problems using apt,adept,synaptic, etc. to get rid of all the rest in one shot. In other words, are the dependencies checks reliable when done wholesale on Easter/2.6.17-kanotix-1.

There is no problem at all in removing unwanted apps from Kanotix - just go on and do it.

which is the best method for doing this: remove or purge?

Code:

apt-get remove package

Removes the application, but not the configuration files;

Code:

apt-get remove --purge package

does remove application and configuration files.
However, be aware that user configurations in /home still remain - you need to remove them manually if not wanted any more.

Chris

Synaptic!

As you browse the list of Installed packages be SURE to 'Save Markings'. This way (should you need to reinstall) you can simply feed the file to Synaptic and not bother with browsing all of the installed apps again.

Thank you gentlemen. I'm at this moment putting Easter on another laptop so I can get rid of most of it!

I've occasionally booted with errors in /home and required a manual fsck check. I've wondered if this has been caused by ad hoc deletions! Is removing stuff in /home simply <delete>? No other links that will cause a problem after --purge?

I've got a lot of messy wine stuff that I want to start again. Can I just <delete> all wine stuff in home/.../.wine?

@drb: No! Wine does nearly the same Win does. It builds a half-way Registry, for User and Root.

Code:

rm -rf ~/.wine

winecfg

No need to reinstall wine just nuke the .wine directory.

Keep in mind that removing config from ~ and using --purge thru apt are 2 entirely different things. Usually the default configs (dotfiles/dirs) are loaded from /etc/skel if one is not found to exist in ~

From command line wine with no Programm as argument. Then you can Reconfigure wine, with your default settings.

If you have deleted some of wine's libs reinstall them with apt-get install .....

Hmm well actually I suppose the correct advice would have been

Code:

mv ~/.wine ~/aged.wine

or similar. Winken
