while it was removing the packages, perl hang a bunch of times and i had 
to kill it all the time it started hanging.

After i did a full rebase and i tried to run autoreconf i got again the 
fork issues.
seems that hasn't helped much.
wonder if there is a problem with perl?

That would sound great.
would make things a lot easier.
at the moment i guess i might have to continue to remove packages which 
could have a big affect.

maybe removing the desktops might be a big load off the system?

greetings,
simon
