How do I enable Apt and dpkg for my hard drive installation of DSL when the computer is not connected to the net? I would like to apt-get remove firefox and other internet related apps, as well as install new ones with dpkg. Is this the file I need, because it seems rather small. http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....sl.info

You should also get the gnu-utils.dsl, so that everything works porperly with apt

Also, since the firefox in DSL was not installed with apt, it cannot be removed with apt.

Most apps in DSL were not installed to be apt compatible, because DSL is not Debian.

So I install gnu-utils.dsl and dsl-dpkg.dsl to enable apt-get and dpkg?

I got every thing working and installed a bunch of games via dpkg (Ace of Pen, Ice Breaker, etc.). I have also removed games(xpacman, xcruise, and oneko). All of the games only had one file. Now, I would like to move onto applications I wont need (Firefox, Dillo, all net apps). First to go will be Firefox. I have tried apt-get remove mozilla-firefox and dpkg -r mozilla-firefox. I knew that this probably wouldn't work, but it doesnt hurt to try.
Now to my problem. I have gone to packages.debian.org and looked at the files of the mozilla-firefox package for the stable release (sarge, there was not firefox package for woody). http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin....ber=all

Check the above link and ~95% of the files are in the folders
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/
/etc/mozilla-firefox/
However, these directories don't even exist! How the heck do I remove firefox from my system? I'm using DSL 0.9.3.
