But that also removes pygame which is a bad idea, as some none-game Python applications use that.
2nd that. It's probably safer to list and filter to find game related packages ie. # dpkg -l | grep mahjong and then remove them individually. # apt-get remove osso-mahjong osso-graphics-game-mahjong osso-sounds-game-mahjong
[edit] I don't own a N900 so I can't check if default games depend on some other packages that are required for firmware updates to work smoothly (as some in this thread have suggested). So do at your own risk.
Are you talking about applications like Amazon and whatever other ones that will make you install something first before using it (yet the show up in the applications already?)
Can't you install them and then uninstall them, I think that's how you got rid of Gizmo on the n800 (it was similar.. it was listed in the applications yet when you clicked on it it opened up the application manager to install it).
I already got rid of amazon and whatever application through uninstall in app manager..
The reason i was interested in getting the games out as i don't use it and they use unwanted space in menu. I wish nokia had give option to create folders and i could dump all the unwanted application in extra folder..

Losing the metapackage would prevent updates pulling in anything new (unless it was a dependency of another update) but you'd still get updates of all the installed packages surely? The individual updates all appear as normal debs in repositories, no?
I think now it's good time to return for this. Yes losing the metapackage (uninstalling the default games) prevents Application Manager seeing the firmware updates.

Well, assuming f/w upgrades from the AppManager often lead to GSM module to start losing cellular network...not a big deal.
A good f/w updated is complete flush over usb cable.
The More i Read the more i get confused...
