I can remove stuff, but I'm cautious about exactly what I can get away with removing. There are some progs that I cant uninstall using the Add / Remove software due to other progs needing them. I could use synaptic or rm to get rid, but I'm cautious about breaking anything.<br><br><hr>Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2008 12:38:16 +0100<br>From: e-mail@mcrilly.co.uk<br>To: chester@mailman.lug.org.uk<br>Subject: Re: [Chester LUG] eeepc woes again<br><br><div dir="ltr">Try removing stuff with Synaptic, and not the GUI to apt-get.<br><br>

Some suff can't be removed with Add-remove progs and I'm reluctant to do it with the package manager in case something I need gets removed by accident.<br>
<br>I'm looking to keep full functionality, but remove additional extras like ooo database and display software while keeping the spreadsheet and word processor.
