how to remove them from the menu and hd etc.

if you run a livecd: reboot
if you run frugal or poorman's install: delete them and reboot.
if you run a hd-install: you cant! reinstall hd!

well....you can, but not simply.
You could extract the dsl archive into a temp directory to see what files were installed, and then manually delete those files from your system.
There is a chance that some of the original system files are overwritten when an extension is installed, so be very careful while deleting files.

So I'm running a hd-install version but with 32meg ram max
and legacy cpu's (486-P2 max)
uci uses the least memory correct ??

I installed firefox uci and it takes forrrrrreeeeevvvvveeeerrrr to do anything
even the least little thing....is this because I only have 32meg of ram
or because I used the uci instead of installing a dsl or tar version instead

tnx all
this is great....

With 32 megs I would choose Opera.

the memory issues addressed by ucis are irrelevant on an hdinstall.
firefox.tar.gz works fine for me on my old machine.
if you want to remove a menu item then edit /home/dsl/.fluxbox/something, i cannot rember, but it is something like that. maybe someone else can clarify this?
