If 'setup' creates all of that stuff, could there be an 'unsetup' command that removes it all? I.e., if installation is: rpm -hvU fedora-ds-.... /path/to/setup Then uninstallation could be: /path/to/unsetup rpm -e fedora-ds That way removal of all of the other stuff could be at the option of the administrator. Just a thought. I'm sure you have nothing better to do than write scripts consisting of a few hundred lines of rm. :) Chris St. Pierre Unix Systems Administrator Nebraska Wesleyan University ---------------------------- LOPSA Sysadmin Days: Professional Training for Professional SysAdmins August 6-7, Cherry Hill, NJ http://lopsa.org/SysadminDays
