I use a 16.5 GB ext2 persistent store, for testing now, seems like checking takes some time.. But, it seems to work. Full system upgrade went well. Which is not obvious, as, for example, I found that dpkg halts in updates on one missing newline in one file list - regardless of dependencies. Now is the time for purging/pruning. Is there any available hinting for this? The packages list, like in http://ftp.knoppix.nl/os/Linux/distr...ckages-dvd.txt doesn't give too much clue, it seems. Is there any way to pick out the games here? Here are some deletion candidates among the 40+ MB packages. Are any of these strictly necessary or very useful?

Code:
dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Installed-Size} ${Package}\n' | sort -n ......

In particular, identifying game packages in a simple way would be nice.
