I agree with Steven that this is way too complicated for a newbie such as 
I understand Czerno to be (no offense intended, Czerno; just seems to me 
from some of your comments that you're fairly new to Linux). But then so 
is "piping the output of tar to rm," as Steven suggested doing to remove 
pakcages. I could probably figure out how to do that, but I've been using 
Linux pretty much full time for 5 or 6 years now. Bottom line, Czerno, is 
that using Linux presents challenges which can best be summed up as 
comprising a pretty steep learning curve. It's amazing what BL does for a 
2-floppy distro, but if you want to push it beyond that functionality, be 
prepared for challenges. It can be nicely extended, but that requires some 
hard work, patience, and humility. We'd be happy to help with any 
continued experimentation you may do.
