March 4, 201511 yr I wanted to find a way to install the "pv" slackware command and I happened upon this thread: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=30827.0 I went to the web site, and stupidly, executed this: wget -qO- http://getboiler.com/install | sh - it proceeded to install a sh**tload of stuff and, in the end, got some obscure error. I went back to the thread then noticed that it had not been updated in more than a year :-( As far as I can tell, it added a directory named "custom" into the /boot/plugins directory. "custom" contains two directories: boiler and trolley, both are empty. so like this: /boot/plugins custom/ boiler trolley there is also a new directory in /boot named "custom" which contains a single directory named "gems" gems contains "ruby/1.9.1/ and then a slew of subdirectories. Looking at pkgs on unMenu, I see things like this: "Ruby" and "Sinatra" development tools Installed, current version='ruby 1.9.3p484' but expected 'ruby 1.9.1p378' "C" compiler & development tools Installed, but version is different. Current version='4.5.2' expected '4.2.4' and I know it installed make, and a bunch of other tools. My question is: how do I "uninstall" this mess? Is it sufficient to delete the /boot/custom directory? Thanks for any help for this truly stupid mistake.
March 5, 201511 yr Author Bump. No-one? Maybe I can ask this: does anyone know of a comprehensive list of how things get installed? I know about the plugins folder and the go script. If it is not in either of these, is there no way it can get installed? Thanks.

Bootup installs from these locations in this order: Packages (txz,tgz) in /boot/extra Plugins in /boot/plugins Plugins in /boot/config/plugins Then go script is executed.

I deleted that directory and the installation does not occur on reboot.
