hi new to linux [xubuntu 7.10] new to how to forge forum great site from what I have seen so far. I was particularly interested in the how to about putting repositories on DVD, as I have my Xubuntu loaded on a machine that rarely sees the internet. I have a couple of questions. 1] I am wondering if there is a way to download these repositories thru a WinXP machine [Currently, it is the one connected to the internet most of the time.] 2]Can anyone tell me how to completely uninstall [or maybe there is a how to available] wine and the programs I am using wine for. I have screwed it up and would like to start fresh, but am a little unsure what files [programs I am using wine for] I can safely delete. thank you
(1) use AptonCD http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ to make repositories on the CD and for downloading the stuff.... hmmm... no clue... if you have enough diskspace on your disk you can make a mirror and by syncing you'll download it all (for ubuntu check here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/mirror/1 ) (2) removing wine (2a) removing wine first: Code: apt-get purge wine (2b) removing the wine folder in your home Code: cd /home/user rm -Rf .wine (2c) manually delete entries made to the menu that's how I would do it...
sjau thanks for response I will try the wine deletion [#2] as for an answer to my 1st question: AptonCD looks good, but, as I stated I want to download these repositories thru a WinXP machine, as it is the one mostly connected to the internet. It will be great once I get both machines on linux, but until then I need to get my downloads thru a windows machine.
