System :: Extinguishing remainders of firefox

Hello Y'all!

I've removed firefox from DSL as described by mikshaw in another post like this: sudo rm -rf /usr/local/{,bin/}firefox but when I'm booting with the remaster that doesn't have firefox 1.0.6 I get a bunch of complaints that the firefox files cannot be found (naturally they can't, I just removed them). Anyway what is it that causes these complaints? There must be something more that has to do with firefox. Are there some other files that can be removed to stop the computer from complaining? Thanks in advance for any help!

Have fun there playing around with DSL,

try in terminal->
updatedb
locate firefox
find firefox

what's the exact error/warning output?

it could be another file that's referencing firefox... (like menu/icon entries perhaps?)

also, wouldnt just find firefox return the non-caps?

OK kerry!

I've tried your suggestion and removed the found files. No no files are located but I still gett all these complaints that the firefix files can't be removed. So for now I have to ponder over the matter for a while to se what can be done. Thanks for the help. And "hats" the complaints run by so fast that I'm not able to write them down. Lets see if I can do it later on.

Have fun and thanks guys,
meo

ok then, WHEN do you get the errors?
I can't think of any reason it would complain during the boot process, but maybe there's something happening when X is started, like a command in .xinitrc

As far as I can tell, there should be nothing in DSL that requires firefox to be present, apart from firefox itself.
