so this is precisely what I don't understand.
if so much depends on a
meta-package, how can it be safe to remove the meta-package? there are
dependencies here that I definitely do not want to remove. does
removal of a meta-package leave the dependent apps intact?
Meta-packages decide what gets added to or included in an installation.
Choosing to remove one removes it only.
alright then, I'll have a go.
you don't know me but I remember you from OS/2 days. best regards from
then and now!
