#4 Re: What is the 'safest' way to Remove X11 Posted by muondude (206.117.xx.xx) on Wed 21 Sep 2005 at 06:12 Thanks for the good feedback. I started going through the list of files and checked some for removal with aptitude (not in cmd-line but screen mode). And it has turned into a bit of a dependencies nightmare. For example, xlibs seems to affect many non-X11 related applications. I started by tryting to make a list of all the proposed package upgrades and then looking at the impact of removal. It very quickly got out of control. For some of the packages there seems to be no problem, but others seem very confusing. For example it looked as if xlibs shouldn't be removed? I'm open to other suggestions on how to systematize this. I thought about trying to remove the ones I was pretty sure were OK, one at a time from the command line and seeing if anything broke? -- Sam
