Is it normal for non-iis not to be reduced to 0? How to get rid of the numerous rcs?
dpkg --purge ...

Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*]; Use 'apt' or 'aptitude' for user-friendly package management; Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values; Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options; Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through 'less' or 'more' ! #
Surely there must be a way that doesn't involve finding and typing 125 package names.
