cant delete desktop icons
Hi
I have several icons on my desktop that I dont need but cant delete. when I try to move them to another folder I get the "feature only avalible with hal"
error.
They are all related to the cd rom. I have recreated them in the apropriate folders so I dont need them on my desktop anymore.
I have navigated to the /home/"current user"/desktop and they dont appear
can anyone tell me how to get rid of them?
thanks pboodi

The icons are auto-generated at boot time during the fstab scan.
Most of them should go away if you boot with this cheatcode:
knoppix nofstab
Or you can create a simple shell script to delete them after bootup. A shell script is similar to an old MS-DOS batch file and can be used to automate manual tasks.
Search google for the Advanced BASH scripting guide for more detailed help.
