Hi!<br />
<br />
The packages you've specified in the textfile are the ones that will be installed. Are more programs installed than the programs specified in the textfile?<br />
<br />
Or do you want to remove unneccesary packages from the computer? Then you can use:<br />
apt-get autoremove<br />
<br />
Regards, Tobias

Good day,<br />
<br />
I have a list of packaages that i want &nbsp;on my machine. &nbsp; I can use it with apt-get to install the packahges i want.<br />
<br />
My question is.. How can i make sure only the packages from &nbsp;this list are installed and remove any packages that are not on this list.<br />
<br />
example: &nbsp; &nbsp;dkpg --get-selections &lt;&nbsp;file.txt, &nbsp;dkpg -u dselect-upgrade #Will install the list of packages.<br />
<br />
How can i make sure that all other packages are removed??<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks.

debian - installation based on a text file

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
