i need to free up space, and make the system less "mint-like"

i have mint because its the only decent system i can get working on my old i486 system......

so which packages specifically labeled "mint" can i and can i not remove? which ones do i have to keep? i know i can remove those annoying addons like pidgin, gthumb, banshee and mozilla, but when i remove some "mint" packages the system fails to boot..........

can i remove mint completely and make it more debian?

There are 48 packages in synaptic installed, when you search "mint" as keyword. I dont want em there. Can i replace some of them?

Why not just reinstall plain debian on your pc if you essentially want to remove what mint features?

Is there a i486 / non-PAE version? i have one of those ancient laptops they found in the mediterranean sea a few years ago......

it was hell removing all the rust, but i got it booting in the end. wierd that it has a danish keyboard layout.

I just never saw the need of running Slack on my i5 system. 😝

But I will be damned it runs on my dads old HP flawlessly.

Yeah, slack is truly a great system and one of the best for someone who only wants roughly tested and working software on his computer. I used it a while on my i5 computer.
