De-Gnoming.
Hello,
Not even the KDE Menu exists now, and I never installed Open Office, so
I'm at the stage of trimming this system down where I deal with Gnome.
Everything is accessible, yes, but there appear to be as many cross
dependencies as a M$ situation.
I've spent some time on Gnome.Org where they appear to have a multitude
of lists, but nothing of a general nature, and I'm not too sure how much
cooperation I would get announcing I want to get rid of their work off
my system.
There are a couple of threads in the Debian-user archives, but I don't
know enough about the inner workings of the gnome morass to be able to
get any sense out of them.
Roaming through dselect trying to sort it all out is like being
eternally trapped in a maze, so here we is:-
I don't need, and I don't think that the average end-user, or even small
home business needs, a full blown office suite. I've sorted out that all
I will probably need for some considerable time is printing facilities,
abiword, gnucash, and gnumeric with associated plugins and docs, and
once I have finished with the docs, I'll probably wipe them, too. But if
you want to get rid of something as innocuous as sodipodi, see where it
gets you. Xfce gives me all the desktop environment I need.
Has anybody been here?
Is there some documentation or a site somewhere that google hasn't been
able to give me?
Grateful for any.
Regards and thanks,
David.
