How to uninstall SFS packages that came with Lighthouse 64?

[jenom]

Although Puppy's PPM (Puppy Package Manager) has an UNINSTALL button to remove packages ---but it only finds the later added on packages !

I am trying to remove ORIGINALLY included packages.....so far no luck !

Any suggestion, please ?

Thanks !

Are you searching for Menu-Setup-Remove_builtin_packages?

I do not have MENU - SETUP - REMOVE BUILT IN PACKAGES
Running a Slacko based Puppy (Lighthouse 64)

I want to uninstall some built in SFS packages....the help recommended to use BOOT MANAGER or SFS LOAD.......neither of them lists all the installed packages.

maybe a better way to deal with puppy's packages is to install the lightest version (smallest) and add those packages what I need

just rebooted with a puppy precise usb, and it has indeed the REMOVE BUILT IN PACKAGES in SETUP
help said, that it will actually not remove it now, but it will when a new .iso file created

is this little program a package?
what its name?
maybe I can install it in Lighthouse / Slacko ?

Jenom- why not antiX if having more than you need's the issue? 64bit versions of core, base and full!

For those who wish to have total control over the install, use antiX-core and build up.

thanks for the info
meanwhile, tried official slacko5.5, and it has the REMOVE-BUILTIN-PACKAGES

so, I guess , Lighthouse people did not want anybody to tinker with their puppy

have not heard of antiX yet, downloading base version at this moment,
400 MB, so it is more than double the size of basic slacko or precise

hopefully it installs and boots from the usb memory as easy as any puppys...


I found different puppys (Lighthouse, fat, phat, snow, slacko, precise) very useful,easy install, easy boot, excellent device detection, fast, and package management works fine for extra added packages....have them on couple of usb sticks.

would like to still find out, what REMOVE-BUILTIN menu entry execute ????

I know , this is a PUPPY forum, Hopefully, I am not going to break some rules, with this.....

my quick AntiX-13 experience

good:
easy install to usb, boots ok, detects all major hardware, wifi setup easy, iceweasel browser is nice

bad:
-- almost everything I do asking for root password, user mgmt does not allow no password to root
--to download packages: terminal.....type : apt-get pkg name....so need to know pkg name first to download, ....,no pkg list , no GUI pkg manager.....very primitive
-no way to save any downloaded packages in live version
--it is 400 MB and yet office menu almost empty, not even abiword or gnumeric

Conclusion;
keep up the good work, it has potential, but for now, puppys are the keeper

And you've been running Linux how long to size up antiX?

[Karl Godt]

Have only installed Lhpup-443 twice as full installations .

Lhpup comes as small .iso and as large .iso with the mariner.sfs and the kde.sfs IIRC .

Lhpup-443 had upgraded libc to 2.9 relative to the 2.6.1 of Puppy-4.3 .

Lhpup small ran quiet well on my hardware, but some the many apps from the mariner.sfs were eating up the single core CPU . wbar was also not bug-free .

But there is no bug-free Linux-GNU anywhere .

I never used these uninstall options for default applications . But I don't think that these would work for adrive.sfs, mariner.sfs and similar .
