Eliminating Unwanted Sharp Programs?
« on: January 12, 2006, 11:18:31 pm »
So, I have a SL-C1000 with stock Sharp ROM. A number of the programs that are installed by default are programs I could comfortably live without, or I intend to replace them with others in the future.
Is there some easy way to remove some of the unwanted programs, free up some space. I note that they are not viewable under the Add/Remove programs wizard.

Yes there is a way to remove them. You have to remount the root partition as read/write (rw). I forget how to do it so i am not being much help here. I am sure someone else with be much more helpful than I am. Since it is being used you can umount it so that is why there is a special comand that just REmounts it.

EDIT:
Check out the topic here look at post number 2. Hope that helps.

Oh... you have do delete each individual file on its own. there is no uninstal feature even when you do this.

Quickie, just clarifying....

With the command as above:  mount -o remount,rw /

are you sure of the syntax, I am drawn particularly to the use of the comma.
