Re: dpkg Question



about : listing installed & unneeded packages


Usually I do that with dselect.
You go through the list  (skipping the base package),
and see every package that is installed.
I find it convenient for 2 reasons :

-You have a short description for the packages (in case you don't remember)
-You can safely try to deselect them. deselect tells you if it breaks 
other packages. Then you hit 'x' and keep the package.

But that's slow and will take more than an hour.

Just a suggestion.
