Wow. I've read all the gawking you've tried. Wouldn't it be easier to
get the aptitude manual and learn how to use the interactive aptitude?
Once you have gone down the list of installed packages and told it which
ones _you_ want and told it to manage everything else, you'll never have
to worry about it again.
As far as /usr/share/doc if you are _really_ short on disk space, you
could burn it to a CD, then remove the _contents_ of each directory (or at
least the large files that concern you). Then upgrades will still put
the stuff there and you can burn a supplement CD periodically.
Doug.
