Hi guys,
How to remove packages that you dont need to use in DSL?
example some of the games, maybe X windows....
I know DSL already small but I like to make it smaller. Please give me some hints on how to do it safely without breaking anything.
Thanx alot.
JiMi.

Good tip. I accidentally arrived here looking for a way to uninstall DSL add-on packages that have been installed on a hard drive installation for testing. My first solution was to delete the files and edit the icon out of the menu. Then I found checkinstall.
