> # aptitude purge ~c Thanks for that suggestion but I don't use aptitude..I use apt, dpkg, and smartpm. dpkg -P <package> works but it would seem each package must be listed seperately. Is there a command that gets all the unpurged stuff in one go, like your suggestion above with apititude? Apropos to my subject thread, I had to rebuild my system from a recent image after sysv-rc was installed on a dist-upgrade. Sid was completely inaccessable via grub2. It was as if there was no hard drive on the computer. Grub has a lot of commands and options, busybox too but if there's no hard drive all the commands in the world can't help you. Guess that just shows to go ya. -- CK
