Thunderbird not opening

Hi there. Continuing thanks for providing my fave OS :D Trying a frugal 700 beta 2 now (in 631 Transmission seemed to stop working) All seems good so far, except: Thunderbird was not in the gslapt list of packages, so I installed it from http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/contrib/packages/700/ (downlo...

Fatdog - (how) can I remove built-in packages?

Hi there! In Fatdog64 621, is there a way to remove built-in packages. The Re-master Live CD utility doesn't give the option and I can't find any help on the forums (apologies if I've missed it - I've been trying for a couple of hours) I was hoping to remove Seamonkey (the browser or the whole suite...

rmcellig, once you've navigated to /initrd/pup_rw in gdmap, then you must click 'Open' - then you will see the difference. It's a great tool for the job. In the two lines below the map, the first is a subdirectory of the one you opened and the second is a subdirectory of that one. If you want to see...

All done. Awesome. Thanks again. This will be perfect for the netbook I'm getting next week that I just want to be a word processor. I'll save my work as and when and probably rarely save the session once I get everything how I want it. This was exactly what I wanted a few days ago when I'd never ev...

Actually I won't (referring to my last post) because I don't know what I'm doing. I'm going out now and will look into it later. Got some learning to do with this one.

Still, if anyone can point me in the right direction, great!
