How can I remove xdm?
Hi there,
I want remove xdm package so I'm not using it (I've remove all links related
in all runlevels, but I don't need this using hard disk for more). But if I
try an apt-get remove xdm it also removes x-window-system... why? I think
this is a bit stupid...
Finally, I've removed it using dpkg instead of apt-get:
crom:~# dpkg --ignore-depends=xdm -r xdm
But I'm unsure about if this is a secure manner to do this kind of things...
there's a voice whispering me that says when I use next apt-get to update or
upgrade my system it'll install xdm again without my knowledge... O_o...
Anyway... the question is... Why x-window-system depends on xdm? XFree does
not need xdm to work, moreover is that xdm needs XFree to do it.
Magical mystery machine...
