Hi,
I have some questions about managing what is on the SD card.
I have SSH using Terminal on a Mac.

How can I see which programmes (if that is the right word) are currently installed on the SD card?
How can I delete ones I no longer use, or which have previously been added?
Is it possible to have two identical copies installed?

I think I may have installed python, or parts of it, twice.

Thanks for any help.

1) Given that there will be rather a lot of "programmes" (ie. >1000) there's no "simple way".
However the command "apropos fred" will tell you if you have something with "fred" in its name, or operates (ie. creates, modifies, read, writes etc.) upon things with "fred" in their name etc.
2) Use "sudo apt-get remove fred" to remove "fred" (and anything fred uses but nothing else requires).
3) AFAIK No.
4)"Wheezy Raspbian" has two versions of python installed (by default) IIRC
Trev.
