"char-mode"-only dist-upgrade?



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I have a very modest system (low memory, small disk) that I
run in character-mode only.  No X, GNOME, KDE, audio, etc.
So, when I installed via ftp, I left out as much of that as
I could.

Now, when I do an "apt-get -s dist-upgrade", it wants to install
all of the gnome, font and a buch of other graphical stuff
that I don't need nor have room for.

Of course, man doesn't mention it, but is there some way to
do this: "apt-get dist-upgrade --no-X", meaning that it won't
install any GUI packages.

TIA,
Ron
