you use the command "rpm -e {the package you want to uninstall}" this will uninstall any pakage you want to uninstall. you can also use the add & remove utility as well to remove the programs that you do not want. On 8/7/07, *Karl Larsen* <k5di@xxxxxxxxxx <mailto:k5di@xxxxxxxxxx>> wrote:

I have a list from yum.log of the rpm files I want to remove so printing will work again. I tried yum remove but it wants to remove all

Description :
The udev package contains an implementation of devfs in
userspace using sysfs and netlink.

The output format from the yum logs are different from the package name that you need to pass to RPM. The version string should be separated from the package name by a dash, and the i386 shouldn't be needed (unless you're running multilib). Your command should be more like:

rpm -e udev-113-8.fc7

That should match the output you would find if you were to query RPM just by package name and not by package name + version string. On my machine:

[justin@ra ~]$ rpm -q udev
udev-095-17.fc6
