From what I have been reading and testing so far, in order to "uninstall" a program from a module, I have to:
a) Extract the module
b) Delete the files
c) Compress the module
I want to get rid of several programs I don't use (like gimp and pigdin) and it seems a rather complicated and prone-to-error method. Is there any other method I am unaware of?
Thanks

Re: Uninstalling from a module
Thanks ! That was a really fast reply
Worked like a charm, and I've been able to uninstall most of the programs I wanted
Only 2 comments:
the line ROOT=.... has to be run as root (so a previous su is required)
some of the programs are not in 002-xorg.xzm but in 003-mate.xzm, so I had to repeat the process accordingly
