How do you remove an application?

[rrfish72]

I want to remove guarddog from knoppix hd install because it is a pain to try to configure for me. How do I go about doing that?

This should do it:
apt-get --purge remove guarddog

[rrfish72]

When I run that it says that guarddog does not exit or something like that. I can see it and run it but I can't get rid of it. I tried it from root also and the same result.

apt-get remove --purge guarddog

or you could just disable guarddog firewall in advace tab.

or you could just leave guarddog in your system and remove it's daemon:
update-rc.d -f guarddog remove

or you could do the above and remove /usr/share/apps/guarddog + remove /etc/init.d/guarddog + remove /etc/rc.guidedog

Thank you. That lets me get back into this site from linux. Disable the firewall did not even let me back in here or other configurations.

Is it still installed? COLUMNS=150 dpkg -l|grep guarddog
Try removing with dpkg: dpkg -P guarddog
