No one has replied so, I'll write a bit, despite my ignorance of the answer Very Happy

First: what do you mean by uninstall? Do you mean uninstall puppy? Do you mean uninstall programs?

If you mean uninstall puppy do you mean frugal or full?

If you are uninstalling a frugal install of puppy, I assume at boot you can hit f2 to get boot parameters.
Code:
puppy pfix=ram


then when puppy boots, go to console. From there use standard console commands to delete your savefile and the other puppy files from the harddrive

at boot you could also use the nox command to boot straight to console.

Code:

I didn't check, but perhaps such a things exist in the "GParted" OS or in the "PartedMagic" OS.

I'm pretty sure I read at some time in the past that it was possible. I don't know about now.

Why do you want to uninstall from terminal? If you mucked up the video, just boot from the CD and type the following at the "boot:" prompt:
Code:
puppy pfix=ram

You can then go in and mount your save file (it won't change the video around, I promise!) and extract the old files, delete the old (bad) save file, and then make a new one.

If you really want to go back to Windblows, just put your Microsux CD in and boot from that; it'll chase away ypur Puppy in a heartbeat.

gparted or Parted Magic will take care of reformatting the drive if you want to switch to another Linux distro (or go back to Windblows, for that matter).

They're asking about uninstalling a package, not Puppy.
