There are some ways of doing it. If you use aptitude, and you have the sources
added, there is a key that matches every package from there: aptitude
remove '~Abackports'.
Other way to do it, is trying to match the name of all packages downloaded
from backports. If I recall correctly all backports have some special string
in the debian version. You can try:
dpkg -l | awk '$3 ~ /backports/ {print $2}' | xargs dpkg --purge

Yes, see above.

No. You must change the sources.list first. I strongly suggest you, that
before you proceed, take a good look to an APT manual. Better if it's the
aptitude manual, because is a lot powerful (and easy at mid/long term) than
just apt-get.

how to configure kmilo
Hi, ok, I installed kmilo but how do I configure it? There is supposed to be something for generic laptop keys support but where do I configure those key mappings? There is no help file, no manpage, no README, nothing! Is this worth a bug report? HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Run: khelpcenter At the top left, you have an input field with a button names "Search" right to it. I guess that's it.

But in order to actually build that index I had to install the htdig package, which is suggested by khelpcenter. BTW I use sid and KDE 3.5.4. It is unclear to me why to provide to build a search index without giving a hint in the documentation how to actually *use* it...But probably I am just to eyeless to find the right button :-) Regards, Andre -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

There, it tells you that htdig was not found. Additionally, the khelpcenter package Suggests: htdig. HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

There, it tells you that htdig was not found. Actually it tells me that that almost everthing went fine since I installed htdig on my laptop. IIRC there was (still is?) a bug within a perl-script (a typo, KDE 3.5.3) which is reliable for using htdig from within khelpcenter but I corrected this due to some suggestions I found while googling. And surprisingly there is no input field and a Search button. Strange... Cheers, Andre -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
