removing gnom& xserver
Hi,
Unfortunately I have done someting incredebly stupid: I accedentally
installed Gnome on my server, instead of the debian desktop box I am
preparing for my children.
I had a nice lean server with just the stuff I needed and working fine
(Debian Sarge: apache2, postfix, MySQL, etc.), ergo no desktop utils or Xserver. By
making a typo in Putty I gave the command 'apt-get install gnome' to
the wrong box and installed 176 megs of stuff I don't need. And 'apt-get remove gnome' leaves me with 175,5 megs of stuff I need nor want on my system.
Any help, suggestions and/or instructions for a resonably quick/easy way of removing all of this would be most welcome.
regards,
Andy
