Uninstalling programs
I'm sorry for this stupid question, but how do you unmake or uninstall a program that wasn't install through apt-get or dselect? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Others you just have to pick apart by hand. If you install each third-party package in /usr/local/stow/package and use stow to create a symlink farm in /usr/local, then uninstalling is a matter of 'cd /usr/local/stow; stow -D package; rm -rf package'. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi, I only know two tools for your problem alien - Install LSB, Red Hat, Stampede, and Slackware Packages with dpkg checkinstall - CheckInstall installations tracker I don't know if there might be a problem to delete the programfolder of the installed program under /usr/local. Maybe you can find the answer in the makefile of the program. gerhard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

One way is to, as root dpkg --purge unwanted_packages Now you should ask which are the unwanted_packages to remove. a starting point might be to look at the output of ls /usr/share/doc/x* and considering those that are X windows related. dselect might be easier to use here: you could see the package description and ask to remove it with a few key strokes. -- Shaul Karl email: shaulka(at-no-spam)bezeqint.net Please replace (at-no-spam) with an at - @ - character.
