Yep, it worked. Thanks.

I've tried that ... it works on /var (mainly log files ?) but does
not affect /usr ... 'deborphan --guess-all' gives a list of
mainly lib files which it is a hassle to figure out the 
function of in case you delete something important. In the end it 
comes down to working through /usr/share or lists of deb pkg's 
I may have downloaded in my notes or on the Debian web site.
I'm still working through it.

The default Woody 3.0 install comes with both Gnome and KDE - I have
found KDE a good backup for situations where I have lost the use
of Gnome terminal and 'man' pages after problematic dist-upgrade ...
the problem may be that I installed a pre-release version of
Woody 3.0 which Debian still registers as 'unstable'. I am thinking
of changing 'unstable' to 'stable' in /etc/apt/sources.list
and doing another dist-upgrade. I have been warned against
mixing stable and unstable - would that concievably be a problem
here ?
