Is there a nice way to uninstall applications ?

For my project I don't want to have all of the default applications on the CD.

If you are talking about the applications that come with dsl, than I dont know of any 'easy' way to uninstall. I think you pretty much are left with tracking down the files and deleting them.

Have they been originally added from a debian package ?

If so, getting the package and listing its content give me all the files and their appropriate paths ?

I am not for sure if they are originally added from a debian package. Here is a thread about removing firefox which is a default application, so it is relevant. This should give you some idea of how to tackle this.

If the program was originally install via Debian (some of them are) and you do a normal hd install and then "Enable APT", it is possible to remove programs with the

sudo apt-get remove programname

command

List of debian packages installed.
I'm guessing from the looks of it that the list hasn't been updated recently
