General proc. for uninstalling software?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear all,

Since about a month a changed from Bill's OS's to Fedora, so I'm relatively 
new, but in the mean time learned a lot, thanks to this community.

Fedora version: FC2 2.6.5-1.358smp

So now with some experience I'm ready to make some personal choices about the 
program I will use in the future. So which one for mailing, one specific 
web-browser etc. etc.
Since I'm working in the IT (but new to UNIX), I always try to keep my 
computers as clean as possible, so I now want to remove the software I do not 
longer use.

Is there a general way to "uninstall" software and are there pitfalls I have 
to avoid (and how).

Examples: I want to remove the whole XIMIAN stuff, I am happy with KMAIL, I 
want to remove the whole MOZILLA-suite and replace it by a web-browser-only 
program like Firefox and I want to remove a lot of other software I just 
installed to try and no longer use.

My only installation experience up to now is with YUM (used update, install 
and search) and RPM -IVH. Not further experience nor in general nor with 
these programs.
