Each time I try with yum I am not well succeed. You can use yum remove, but it seems a bit dangerous. It sometimes seems to suggest to remove dependent packages that are actually still wanted. Best way, for example to delete a package skype, is to use rpm -e skype Big advantage of RPM is that yum (or apt-get or smart or whatever) is built on top of RPM in a clean way, you can always come in at that level and manage things. rpm -qa --last | tac might be useful to see what you installed recently to get ideas for what you don't want any more. -Andy
