I installed Mozilla 1 from Synaptic. I can't remove it. I get an error. The error code is : "Sub Process /usr.bin/dpkg/ returned an error code (1)"

I don't use synaptic...

But it was my understanding that it is a front-end for apt-get ..

If you bootup with the "dsl 2" command , that should take you to a root shell ..

If this is a HDInstall , exit X ( ctrl-alt-bksp ) , and "sudo su" to a root shell

Get the dsl-dpkg package -
" wget http://ibiblio.org/pub....pkg.dsl "

Install the dsl-dpkg.dsl -
" mydsl-load /path/to/dsl-dpkg.dsl "

When you installed mozilla the first time, if you recall
changing your sources.list from stable to unstable, do it again now.

Then try typing " apt-get update" followed by " apt-get remove mozilla "

That's all that comes to mind for now ..

One unspeakable way is to "whereis mozilla", then hunt all the stuff down with emelfm and delete it. If you wound up with a desktop icon, there is an entry in /home/dsl/.xtdesktop for it. Two entries, actually.

Don't knock the power of emelfm. I Quick and Dirty'ed an install of Opera for my remaster "master copy" from Redhat 9, on another partition. Used a little guessing, too, and lucked up. Opera runs like a champ!

I'm guessing that you have a hard drive installation, but if you were using a big restoration tarball, here is a case for keeping the older ones on a memory key or a hard drive partition, with a name such as backup.tar_from_091504.gz for instance. You can then rename it, and restore what you had prior to the changes that you didn't want!

Now, if I could just get my 256 MB mem key to be recognized!
