New deborphan
apt-get install deborphan

orphaner -a

start clearing out the stuff you don't need. select a few items and hit <ok> and then re-run it.

If X isn't installed correctly, uninstall it

dpkg --purge blahblahblah

if necessary

---------

Once that is done, check to make sure you're on the correct distribution (stable, testing, unstable).

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

which apps does it want to install?

----------

As long as debian can boot and find a network connection, you'll never need to wipe the drive.

----------

debian is sooooooo wonderful

Also... Aptitude works very well it has Virtual packages and such... also if you do it you'll see the F10 key... play around with it... The virtual packages are nice to help you select things... Plus aptitude also has "Task" select.

apt-get install aptitude

Once you get X working:

apt-get install synaptic

You'll like both of em...

The debfoster utility is a somewhat more systematic and comprehensive utility, that does much the same thing. You might want to check that out, too.

New Thanks! But, hey, it wasn't...
...so much the zillion *lines* per se (though the snip was also welcome), but the zillion characters *on* each line. Made every post in the follow-on thread just as wide, which means horizontal scrolling on some screens (like this laptop).

So, again, thanks!

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575|Ashton Brown]
