Under tasks you will find one for x-windows or x-server. It might be in the servers group. Note then when you remove x related stuff, you will get a warning about emacs being broken if you emacs. Don't worry about that one, remove emacs and install the package emacs-nox. That saved a lot of space on my 800MB, no that's not a miss-print hd.BTW, you mention your p2 is to slow for gnome, how fast is it? I have a p2-400 I'd like to linuxify. Sean PS. if your more comfortable with tasksel, use that instead of aptitude.

To: speakup@braille.uwo.ca cc: Subject: Debian Uninstall Question Is there a way to remove a related group of applications with apt? Or do you have to take them out one at a time and do it in the right order because of the dependencies? I ask because I have an old Pentium 2 with a fairly small hd, and I need to take out all the X (except perhaps the Xlibs). The hd is getting full and this box is too slow for Gnome anyway.
