clicktician, you're right. That's probably the "ugly gui" s/he mentioned.

the following will allow you to remove all the mx-tools. variations will allow you to remove individual tools as you see fit, just don't include those in the removal list.

Code: Select all

apt-get remove mx-apps mx-boot-options mx-bootrepair mx-cleanup mx-clocky mx-codecs mx-conky mx-conky-data mx-docs mx-idevice-mounter mx-iphone  mx-iso-template mx-live-usb-maker mx-menu-editor mx-network-assistant mx-packageinstaller  mx-packageinstaller-pkglist mx-remaster mx-remastercc mx-repo-list mx-repo-manager mx-select-sound mx-snapshot  mx-switchuser mx-system mx-system-sounds mx-timeset-gui mx-tools mx-tweak mx-tweak-data mx-usb-unmounter mx-user mx-viewer mx-welcome 
Thanks. Experimenting, I tried this in a live session. I like the cleaner menus! However, while I rarely use the MX Tools, I do prefer to have them all available.

display is the image viewer command for ImageMagick, a single command among the many IM functions. It is not a GUI for IM as it doesn't facilitate any processing of the displayed image.
Thanks. Yeah, it just does zooming and such. It's not useful, but I thought my MX install needed it for something.
Son, someday all this will belong to your ex wife.

Like what? Linux is highly customizable. What ever is missing it's usually doable. Been using Linux for 15 years, so I'm very familiar with Linux.

Well.. it's been quite a few years since the switch from KDE to XFCE, so I want no longer ;)

When I moved from Xandros to Mepis and checked out the Forum, that was hosted on the Mepis website before Mepislovers Forum, Eadwine was one one the first members who I paid attention to. And that has not changed.
