How to NOT install some programs with CyanogenMod & ROM Manager??

[Jer]

My problem so far is that, unlike DroidMod, there was no way to not install the annoying programs that I dislike. I wanted to skip installing the following items: MP3 Store Amazon, Corporate email/calendar, Google Goggles & the one that bothers me the most.. Car Home. Is there a way to avoid installing this or to uninstall them maybe with ROM Manager or something?

You have to remove them manually. This process usually involves Terminal Emulator, and manipulating file names in the terminal. It's not that hard, even to the uninitiated.

if you have root manager you can do it also they are located in /system/app folder you have to mount at the top of the screen then long presson them and then take them to somewhere on your sd folder
(or delete)
you pick)

Care to give me a few more details other than it's easy? I open Terminal Emulator and all I get is a black screen and when I hit the menu key I get four options that don't appear to be what I'm looking for.

Type: (each new line represents hitting the enter key, and anything after \\ is a comment)

su \\this enables administrator control
cd /system/app \\this changes you to the proper directory
ls \\this lists the file packages, CarDock.apk is the apk for the Car Dock
mv CarDock.apk CarDock.bak \\this renames the package to something that wont be recognized by the system, so the app has effectively been removed

The Root Manager app technique described a few posts up works too, but this is basically the same process.

Do I need to reboot after doing this? Will I ever get any error messages or anything as it attempts to locate this?

In the step where it lists file packages can I also locate the other programs I mentioned above and will it be pretty obvious what's what so I can rename them as well?

Is a reboot required for the changes to take effect? I assume no on the Car Home one since it will just come up blank when searching for it when placed in the car dock.

I can't rename this because I get an error that says:

"mv: can't rename 'CarDock.apk' : Read-only file system"

su
mountsys
rm /system/app/cardock.apk
unmountsys
sync
exit
exit

When I do this I get to step 2 and enter mountsys and hit enter I get the following:

"mountsys: mountsys not found"
