My intention was to say "Why in the world do I have this restriction on what I can and cannot have on my system?" Overall it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but in this specific case, it bothers me that I'm incapable of completely removing freecell while leaving the other gnome-desktop default games as they are. -Mike</blockquote></div> Mike, The package manager only allows you to manage individulal packages. The Freecell source code is shipped in the same tarball as the other default Gnome games, and they are all subsequently packaged in to one binary deb package. This is why you can't remove individual games from your system. Whilst it may be technically possible to split the games in to multiple binary deb packages (allowing you to remove individual games), this would significantly increase the effort required for a developer to maintain this package, all for minimum to zero gain.
