Ubuntu and Latex newbie here. Very basic question I have.
I recently installed Latex using the following code:
sudo apt-get install texlive
However, I want to uninstall this and just get the latex base for now.
I tried the following but it doesn't work:
sudo apt-get remove texlive
dpkg --get-selections | grep tex
shows that a number of latex related files are installed.
How do I remove texlive?
