Post #95,867 by drewk 4/10/03 4:56:38 PM Reply	OK So orphaner finds things that are already unused, foster allows you to remove a package and everything that is only used by it. Got it. === Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.
Post #95,870 by drewk 4/10/03 4:59:41 PM Reply	Why does it keep generating locales? This is the step that keeps taking so long, and it does it after every action I take with apt. === Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.

Then apt-get remove foo fo2 foo3 foo4 ... fooN of everything you don't want. At least I'm avoiding downloading 280M of updates to (mostly) things I don't want anyway. Then use debfoster and orphaner (which BTW come with Knoppix by default). === Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.
