Remove Slider

Hi,

I would like to remove the slider for featured posts and images from the d5 small business theme all together. I don’t want it at all, anywhere.

I have done a few searches for a solution, and have also posted in d5 forums, but have not found an answer. I’m fairly newb, so before I go cutting the CSS and calling it good (and probably making a bigger mess), I wanted to find out how to remove the slider correctly. Would I have to work within the header and the function files? I have also created a child theme, so anything I do I wouldn’t want it to be undone with updates on the parent.

Thanks so much!
