Hi, |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I wanted to add, that a minimal world in my opinion isn't always what |
| 23 |
you want. For example in the time I searched for a suitable window |
| 24 |
manager for me I did a lot of depclean these days and accidently removed |
| 25 |
the xserver. There was no harm done, but I figured, that my world file |
| 26 |
should contain all packages, that should never removed automatically |
| 27 |
unless I want to. This way there is a little less danger involved using |
| 28 |
depclean. So this type of work might only be done by hand. |
