Only way would be preseeds or plain debootstrap, I think. -thib -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

The package management toolchain doesn't assume you also want to purge the packages exim4 depends on. As It Should Be, IMHO. You can see this easily if you have package 'debtags' installed. In the description pane, you can see the package tags, one of which is role::metapackage. Probably the most succinct definition is in aptitude, actually. Start a new debtags browser view, and select role::metapackage. One of the References should have more information. I don't remember if it's the user or developer reference though -- no net access as I write this mail. -- _ Brian Ryans 8B2A 54C4 E275 8CFD 8A7D 5D0B 0AD0 B014 C112 13D0 .
