you must have an installed Porteus because this looks for the "boot device:" /mnt/live/var/log/livedbg
this way only a small list of packages will be seen making it easy to see what you had installed recently
it uses a Xdialog GUI checklist
*If you have no packages installed this app wont do anything so install a package to test
I may have to install quite a few packages to compile and this allows for better quick control
of what is installed by me to view and remove when needed
Code: Select all

# remove-recently-installed-packages
# make a smaller list so its easy to
# find recently installed packages
# make folders clean up files
mkdir -p /tmp/remover
rm -f /tmp/remover/new_list.*
rm -f /tmp/remover/return2
# these are the packages recently installed to Porteus
