OLPC Policies Question Concerning Upgrading Default Installed Software

[anthony at evolutionindesignz.com]

Hello there;
Thank you for your response.

My name is Anthony, and I am doing some work for a company called 
Evolution in Design (http://www.evolutionindesignz.com).

According to the Mozilla 
documentation(https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XULRunner_1.9.1_Release_Notes#Linux_2), 
uninstalling XULRunner is not very difficult-just unregistering the 
application using the command line and then deleting the directory that 
it was installed on.

Thank you once again.
