Passing argument to apt-get

[Frank Zambrini <fzambrini@gmail.com>]

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to build a gnome-less Lenny image (xfce), however some gnome 
stuff has crept in (gksu, gnome-mime-data, gnome-mount, etc). From what 
I can tell, (since none of packages require gnome) is that apt is 
installing the "recommended" packages as if they were dependencies, i.e. 
synaptic only recommends gksu but somehow it gets installed in my live 
image. I did a little reading and found the option for apt 
'--no-install-recommends' but I am not sure how I could pass this to 
live helper. Does anyone know how this could be done, or any other way 
to remove the gnome stuff? Thanks in advance.
