How to remove unused programs from Slacko?

#1 Post by koenh »

Hello,

I installed slacko puppy to a very small computer (thin client). i want to run only one (server-)application on it, together with an ftp and vnc server. (vnc for remote control, ftp for when i need to exchange files with it)

All the rest of the programs, i don't need. (fe. write/calc/paint/...)
Is there some way to remove them from the system? (i only have a disk of 512MB...)
When i go to the PPM, i only can uninstall my installed programs (jre/vncserver/...)

already thanks!

You just have to use "menu -> Setup -> Remove builtin packages"
But be very careful what you are uninstalling, you don't want to remove useful dependencies and break your puppy! ;) Another way is to chose an appropriate pupplet, a smaller version of Puppy Linux. Good luck!

Didn't found this.

What version do you recommend?
I found this topic, but they are all almost the same size...

TinyCore is really great, very good suggestion! You can also try Browser Linux - http://www.browserlinux.com/ - (you will have to remove some packages to strip it down) or PupnGo - http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=51478 !
