That makes sense, maybe an additional safeguard would be to forbid pulse 
formally inside of aptitude effectively blacklisting the whole system.

installation.  You then launch aptitude once you've rebooted and disable
automatic installation of suggested packages.  The next thing I do after
that is to quit aptitude and install emacspeak from source.  This way, I can
go into shell mode, su to root and run aptitude install <desired package> .
I always tell it no the first time around and then cut and yank the stuff I
want into a separate install line from the suggested package list it tells
me it won't be installing.  This lets me chery pick without having to type
every single solitary package I want.  If this doesn't make sense to you,
let me know and I'll try to type up something more coherent.

Hi Jude,

If you want a Debian system without pulse its better off to do a clean
install and install the packages manually so you don't have to rip pulse out
and a bunch of other stuff, and reconfigure everything.

Cheers!

Hi, I'd like to trash pulseaudio for more reasons than that.  What can 
I use on debian to clear that off a system?  pulseaudio throws all 
kinds of errors on boot up.
