Okay, but as I installed it with, yum, so I am guessing (but I don't know if it is always true), I should use the first command you give, that is, su -c 'yum -y remove preload' > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Suvayu Ali <fatkasuvayu+linux@xxxxxxxxx> > To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:24:25 -0700 > Subject: Re: how to uninstall preload? > On Tuesday 20 July 2010 01:19 AM, Adalbert Prokop wrote: >> >> A simple >> >> su -c "rpm -e preload" >> >> will also work. > > However that is not recommended, at least that is what I know.
