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. -- With kind regards, Hans Troost e-mail: fedora + chr(64) + troost.tweakdsl.nl
