Heh... To uninstall programs, just open up Finder, go to Applications,
choose which program you don't want any more, drag to the Trash and
empty it. That's it. Simple. I'm sure there's other things to do
first though, such as cleaning up files - though not sure how to do
this, I'm sure someone else will tell you - flush WWW browser caches etc.
As for zombies... heh... it's just a process status - such as active,
idle, etc. Basically zombie means the process has finished its work,
but the computer hasn't "killed" it off - for more info go here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process
It doesn't mean the process is malicious or anything - just something
that is wasting space and needs to be "killed".

Sorry about the lack of info. This is a B & W G3 (ver, 2,2) that was
used at U of San Diego after they upgraded to G5's. I've been able to
update to 10.2.8, 450MHz. 128 MB of memory, L2 cache size = 1 MB.
The reason I asked about the control panel is now that I have owned this
for about 1 1/2 months, I'm getting alerts that some programs won't load
or it says it is unable write file because my hard drive is full and
that I need to free up space. I wanted to un-install some programs ,
thinking that would free up space.
The zombies were found in the Process Listings. Name = sh , User = root,
Status = Zombie, CPU and Memory = 0. There is currently one case of
this, but I have seen 3 at once.
I hope this is the info you needed and thank you for the lightning fast
response.
