I’m at a stopping point for the day. Just spent the past 48 minutes removing things and going “wtf” when the next batch would get a bunch of things marked {u} to remove. Did a quick fake removal of another thing without dependencies to see that I was out of {u} crap to remove. Yippee.
Here’s the stuff last marked deinstall via dpkg –get-selections | grep deinstall:

That doesn’t include the things I’ve added and removed (like the kuki kernel) myself or any of the bloatware I’ve installed (emacs, openoffice.org, mew, etc.) or my own current kernel.
After aptitude clean, I got back a couple hundred MB:

I may remove a few more things later (if I get time) or (more likely) tomorrow and something might be pretty staggering if I go through with it. I’ll also post the jwmrc I said I would by tomorrow along with a couple more rc files since I’m getting hits on a daily basis about screen, ratpoison, ratmen(u), etc.
