Apps :: Silly place to ask it, but... but How do i ...

That's easier? "tar -zvf filename" is a single command that gives you a list...no renaming, no extracting, no browsing needed. You still need the original package either way, and you still need to remove them manually...or via script:
tar -zvf filename > filelist
for i in `cat filelist`; do rm /$i ; done

I guess each to his own....if you think doing more work and using unnecessary disk space so you don't have type anything is easier, then yeah....go for it =o)

by the way...I'm writing a package manager for myDSL packages. I'm expecting to have a useable pm sometime within the next couple of months. It will let you install packages as a user other than dsl, will backup any files that are overwritten by the package, and will remove the packages for you (*.dsl packages anyway).

Dear Milkshaw , yes right tar zvf is also easy , as a windows user I define everything as easy wich is not
a comandline input, honestly I often mistype those ones and got to start again (no secretary around).
A package manager would be great , a big step for the DSL idea , I like the Yast installer , wich lets you
search for keywords and uninstall the selected items ,that would be great for really freeing diskspace,
thank you in advance ;)
