 I am currently running sarge with both KDE and Gnome installed. I'd
 like to remove the games from my system (*WAY* too much temptation
 for someone who is already far enough behind), but I noticed that the
 kde and gnome-desktop-environment packages depend on the games
 packages. Is there a way to force this dependency off? I'd hate to
 have a bunch of broken dpendencies lying around. Any help would be
 appreciated.

And I'm the opposite to Peter.
I don't use KDE at all.
But then, I don't use most of Gnome either.
I just install what I want, they drag in their minimal dependencies on install, and that's all I carry.
 From Gnome, all I need are abiword and gnumeric.
I've also installed all the relevant doc and plugin packs for both of them.
I use WDM for login, so I don't get the fluff from GDM, and the only games I have *had* to install is Xeyes.
I installed Xpenguins because I like it.

David.



That's it: I use fvwm. Only tuxracer to check on nVidia driver doing its thing. Gdm for login because it runs 2 xservers the best to support Multi-seat Linux.
