crux has its fair share of downsides, and you should consider them.
* 100% source based * light dependency handling (eg, you can't uninstall dependencie) * small port base, meaning you'll have to port many softs by yourself * sparse documentation * system V init Don't worry, there are good points too: * simple package format * easily swappable component (eg, init, device manager, ...) * knowledgeable user base Its simplicity is its best feature! |

Does prt-get have a feature to uninstall dependencies?

Then let's make an uninstall script. I think it's pretty easy: make a local database, use it to determine which programs cand be removed, problem solved.

I'm trying to switch from Arch to Crux but I have problem related to Grub-UEFI. My actual configuration provides two partition (sda1,sda2) the first one is EFI partion formatted in fat32, the second one is LUKS+LVM(swap+root-btrfs). Typically in Arch before give grub-mkconfig, I wrote my configuration in /etc/default/grub (an example is attached) but now in Crux seem that this conf file isn't considered and the finally Grub not start right.
/etc/default/grub: http://pastebin.com/59h7ZgWB |

the grub config should be placed in /boot/grub/grub.cfg or $esp/grub/grub.cfg (relative to your EFI System Partition location).
Also I find there is no need to use grub-mkconfig in crux, just write the config by hand. Here is mine and it works just fine. http://ix.io/q0y |
