Once I install a program from the slackware boot disc, is there any way to get rid of the program? Can I just delete the file and it's corresponding folder? Is there any better way to do it, if any way at all?

mount the boot disc and the within the boot disc use installpkg

As root, run pkgtool. Select remove and select the packages you wish to remove.
Or, if you just have one or two packages you want to uninstall, as root,
Be careful though. Once you remove a package, any program that depends on that package will cease to function.Code:removepkg nameofpkg.tgz
Cool its so easy! Thanks, now one more. Does this just have things installed from the slackware disc, or can I use this for other packages too?
other packages too (as long as they are .tgz). Also look at pkgtoolQuote:
