h2. usage

h3. create packagelist.txt

pre. ~$ cd bin/autoaptitude
~/bin/autoaptitude$ ./create_packagelist.py

A new **packagelist.txt** file would be created.

After this, you can edit the **packagelist.txt**.
e.g. remove all packages you didn't need.

h3. apply packagelist.txt

To cleanup you system, apply the packageslist.txt with:

pre. ~/bin/autoaptitude$ sudo ./autoaptitude.sh

This script call aptitude two times.
You must confirm before your system will be changed.

It's a good idea to update the packages list with **aptitude update** before!
