OK. You "can" do yum remove libgcj. HOWEVER, THIS WILL REMOVE OPEN OFFICE, ECLIPSE, AND ALL JAVA PACKAGES - because yum remove is dumb and doesn't know about alternative JDK packages. Don't say I didn't warn you! Also, I don't know how to remove all the links that point into /etc/alternatives in one fell swoop. > I've also tried jpackage but I did not like it. Again, no control and > non-free is not as easy to install. No control? Does it really matter that much where in the filesystem tree things get installed? I suggest you start learning to like JPackage. As for non-free not being easy, there are now -compat packages so it's as easy as installing the Sun JDK RPM and then installing the -compat RPM from jpackage.org. No rpm building needed any more! -- Robin
