If you remove a package like xfree86-common apt will remove all the things that depend on it. It won't work if you just remove x-window-system because it is a virtual package which depends on other packages but is not itself depended on. Chances are if you remove the xfree86-server or x-clients-base you'll take out a lot of what you want to get rid of. > I ask because I have an old Pentium 2 with a fairly small hd, and I need > to take out all the X (except perhaps the Xlibs).
