Apps :: Uninstalling Apps...

Alrighty, how do I uninstall MyDSL applications that I have downloaded?

A simple question deserves a simple answer

umm, yeah, that really didn't help.

the only way I know of is to use emelfm to browse the contents of the .tar.gz file and to manually remove every item.

long and tedious, but still better than doing a fresh install...

Only problem with that COULD BE that the installed .dsl or .tar.gz
OVERWROTE a file that was an earlier version, a lib, e.g.
( specifically, the "red" level extensions, which DO overwrite base files )

Then the question becomes..
How do I get my old files back that the extension overwrote ?

or

How do I know if a file was overwritten, before I reboot and
find my filesystem broken ?

Simple question, simple answer. Reboot.

The myDSL was designed as an easy way to give liveCD users access to what the hard drive users always had. Since it was designed for liveCD, you don't need package management. Just reboot as all extensions write to the ramdisk.

For hard drive users DSL has Synaptic and the apt package managment system.

Now users like the ease of myDSL extensions and are now using them in a way that was not designed for. They work fine on hard drive install, but know you have chosen to bypass package management and thus it may be difficult to uninstall.
