Hi Brad,
yes, maybe, but after more than 10 years of using debian a lot of unnecessary
stuf is in my ~home directory. And as I am now using a SSD drive, space is
more important than before.
However, I will just decide manually and create a script, which I can run on
all my other computers. They all got the same packagelist
installed/uninstalled.
Thought I might missed an automatical way, but I learnt, there is none. It is
just not intended by design.
Best regards
Hans
