Re: Removing packages

If you are using fedora 5, than use redhat's new graphical frontend to
yum, pirut (should say something like 'Add/Remove Software' in the
menu). Just go to search and type in the apps you want to get rid of,
and select them for removal.

When I start pirut from the menu, it loads a window that says retireving system information, then after a little while displays an error: Unable to retrieve system information, then exits

I will try the rpm whay offered by Gordon, but I dunno what wrong with pirut... any ideas?

Determine the path:
$ which epiphany

Determine the package:
$ rpm -qf `which epiphany`

Remove the package:
$ yum remove `rpm -qf \`which epiphany\``
