Programming and Scripting :: Application removal script

John's bailiwick is the base applications in DSL, so he would know.
I am with mikshaw, in that, I too have little to no interest in Debian. My contributions to DSL are mainly providing infrastructure to support additional capabilites of the base system.

I wasn't advocating some attempt to preserve the integrity of the Debian base if that is what you mean by "with" and it's got nothing to do with being interested or not in Debian.

If an app was installed with dpkg, as they often are in knoppix proper, I'd run (eg) dpkg -L and dpkg --contents to see what (if any) files are owned by that app so they might be deleted manually if needed.

I imagine that won't work for many things so keep working on the script Mik.
