I'm not used to the new console-terminus font, and would perfer the traditional one. However, I can't remove it:
$ apt-get remove --purge console-terminus The following packages will be REMOVED: console-terminus* grml* grml-autoconfig* grml-debugtools* grml-etc* grml-x* 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Would it be a better idea to have this extra eye candy to be recommended, as opposed to required?
I was able to remove it in grml0.7 and didn't have any problem with that...
The dependency was introduced because grml uses the font as default now.
But there's no reason to remove the package at all because it's possible to deactivate the font anyway. In live-cd mode you can use the 'nodefaultfont' bootoption (as stated in Release Notes of grml 0.8). On your hd-installation setting the consolefont can be done also via $CONSOLEFONT in /etc/grml/autoconfig. Just set it to a font you like, if you notice any problems feel free to drop me a note.
