How to remove an application from a remaster?

[koulaxizis]

Hello! Does anyone know how can i remove a pre-installed application from a remastered Puppy so i can replace it with a newer one (eg Libre Office)?

Was it an sfs?

Any sfs loaded during a remaster will be included.

If that has happened go around with rox and delete folders...its usually in opt somewhere and a profile in /root..and the entries in /usr/share/applications.

If it was a pet then uninstall...but I used to find once a remaster had been done then that no longer worked but it may have improved....so back to delete folders time.

If it was someone elses puplet then back to delete folders time

nice to have you back on here

Deleting is fun...I used to enjoy doing it with motorbikes....

If it was a pet install and you still have the save file that you used when doing the install, load the save file and use pet manager to uninstall and then remaster. If not, it is the longer approach. Look in root for .packages and see if you can find the text file for that installed package. It will show the files installed as well as the location where it is installed. Delete and remaster. Otherwise use pfind.
