Next message: bobby fuesz: "[LUNI] clean removal through apt?"
Man this is a lot of work for a "I wonder if I can do this" museum piece. I
HAD BETTER find a good use for this thing when I'm done. :)
Thank you to all, here's the latest...
It is currently removing all gnome/gtk/Ximian debs, I got this working (it
didn't wan't to remove Ximian of course) with 'apt-get remove gnome*
--fix-missing'. It has been cranking for about 45 mins now chewing on that.
But appears to be doing very well.
I'm still looking for a good, light browser. I may, if after unloading this
115M of unwanted CRAP, resolve to apt-getting konqueror and Qt, if I can get
away with keeping the DL under 25M or so.
I used fdisk for the partition relabeling, and believe that type 'b' is the
closest listing to vfat available; please correct me if I'm wrong on that.
Again, thank you to everyone, I promise I'll bring it to the next fest when
I get it up... the laptop that is. ;)
