Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

In my enthusiasm to install one of the funplug packages (lsof) I typed in "funpkg -i *.tgz" which of course started installing every single one. I managed to stop it after the following were installed via cntl-z
apr-1.2.12-2
apr-util-1.2.12-1
autoconf-2.61-2
automake-1.10.1-2
bash-3.2-3
binutils-2.18.50.0.1-4
bison-2.3-3
btpd-0.13-4
bzip2-1.0.5-2
convmv-1.12-2
coreutils-6.10-2
cvs-1.11.22-2
db42-4.2.52-1
How now do i uninstall them and put myself back where I started?
Thanks in advance

I believe the -r switch will achieve what you want; funpkg -r <package.name>

If you only hit ctrl-z, then you still need to kill the process and hit fg to terminate it properly.

Thanks, will try that. I was looking for some doco on the funpkg syntax but couldn't find it anywhere, is it documented somewhere?

The box has been rebooted since i did the ctrl-z. Will that have done the job ??? If not, how do I see if the process is still running and how do I kill it (I'm a newbie/idiot)

Yes, a reboot will, but it is good measure if you ctrl-z (stop) something, to kill it and then bring it back to the foreground. Anyway, you can use ps or top to get the PID # and then type: kill <PID #>. Once that is done, type fg to bring it back to the foreground and it will terminate.

I've not come across any documentation. How I found out about the -r command was by typing funpkg at the cmd prompt.

I did consider that but after my last mistake thought better than just to try things, didn't want to stuff it up anymore. So, many thanks for that and thanks to all others who answered my post....

The packages eat a little of your disk, but that's about it. I usually recommend to install all packages, anyway. Nothing will be started automatically, unless you ask for it (i.e. you do a chmod a+x, or run the start script manually).
