Be a little but careful here. demudi-midi and demudi-soundapps are so called tasks, IIR, they are itself empty, but depend on other packages to fulfill a task like "midi software in general". So I think it might be okay to remove them (try "apt-get -s remove hotplug" first), but YMMV. I don't quite see why you *want* to remove hotplug. I see a lot of harmless warning messages on startup. That's perfectly normal on Linux. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
