Hi,

Is it possible to remove all packages that are not in the normal installation?

maybe im slow or missing something but what do you mean normal...anything you add extra isnt normal...you can edit the your repos if thats what your attempting to do thru...
SYSTEM>ADMIN>SOFTWARE SOURCES

also you may want to consider a different distro that contains less packages than jaunty does upon installation...see DistroWatch (http://distrowatch.com/) for explanations distro's to choose from!

hope i helped

I think you would be better off backing up your important files in home and doing a fresh install. You may run into dependency nightmares otherwise.
