Thanks Eric. If I have to remove all those manually, I'll definitely
have learned my lesson. (never casually use wildcards when installing
software).

It's been kinda fun poking through the KDE apps, but the system
definitely doesn't like having all those packages installed at once
(including an "ubuntu-live" package that isn't really meant for an
installed system).

Luckily, if all else fails, I have all my data on separate physical
drives and the only additional software I installed was "howl" and
"mdnsresponder" to share my mp3's to itunes.  If it comes to removing
hundreds of packages by hand, it'll probably be easier to just
reinstall - and that will give me another excuse to test Array 5. :o)

Thanks!
