Use dselect or FinkCommander to browse your installed packages and remove
what you don't want. Alternatively, dpkg -l will give a list of what's
installed, then dpkg --purge (packagename) will remove stuff. Like, if you
want to get rid of nedit, just do
dpkg --purge nedit
This won't remove any extraneous library dependencies, though. At least in
Debian there's a program called deborphan which lists the extraneous
libraries, but I don't know if fink has it. Basically you just do
something like:
dpkg --purge `deborphan`
(note the backticks) and it'll remove all the cruft you don't need for your
currently-installed programs.
Some prefer to use apt-get remove instead of dpkg --purge. I don't think
there's any real difference.
