[FGS] Uninstalling an FGS package

[Alan Hale]

Thanks Normand

I'm not sure I fully understand the installation process here though. Do 
I have to download and install the fgs-msx package, THEN get 
fgs-chameleon-base...tar.gz and untar the latter into the appropriate 
directories?

Any thoughts on uninstalling previous versions and the issue with 
occupied ports?

Regards

Alan
