Then after some time, I find that software isn't what I want, and deinstall it. At this point, the dependency software isn't necessary as well. Is there a way to clean them automatically, like the apt-get autoremove in the Ubuntu system. And the related general question is, what's the best way to keep my system clean? Thanks. -- Ronggui Huang Department of Sociology, Fudan University, Shanghai, China Department of Public and Social Administration, CityU, HK
