Help Needed

[Jack]

I have a Acer Aspire One Nav50 and I have no DVD/CD writer. I need to remove some programs and there dep files. Can someone help me out? The program are in 002-xorg.xzm and 003-mate.xzm. If there is a scripts to remove program and dep files a easy way please share with me.

it's easy:
a) extract module
b) run

Code: Select all

ROOT=squashfs-root removepkg your_package

c) pack module back

I ran xzm2dir on 003-xorg.xzm is that what you mean by "extract module"?

[brokenman]

That is correct.

Code: Select all

mkdir /tmp/unpacked
xzm2dir /my/modules.xzm /tmp/unpacked
ROOT=/tmp/unpacked removepkg your_package
dir2xzm /tmp/unpacked mynewmodulename.xzm

I'll get back when done, or have a problem. Thanks

I have a question who built 002-xorg.xzm? I would like who ever did it rebuild one for me. What i want is take out all program that are in the Menu area unless they are needed to boot the system up. The files that are taken out please remove there dependencies too. I try to this but with little luck. If I had a list program and the dependencies I could try again.

I done almost all of 003-mate.xzm so far.

i'm maintaining 002-core.xzm but see my response here:

Will I remove just programs and then I dir2xzm them backup. I rebooted with no luck. I guest I'll stay with what you all will support. I already reinstall it back what I started with. You still have a good Porteus Linux. Maybe someone help me one day and I guest I'm too old almost 67 years old.

Please let me know which programs you want removed from mate. I already have a bare 002 module with nothing in the menu.
