Hi Michael, Well, if you're using a distro like Red Hat, you could use the rpm utility to uninstall any packages that were originally installed using rpm. Otherwise, for any packages you manually build and install on the box, you would need to manually remove everything associated with the package in order to uninstall. Nevertheless, I'd say that uninstallation on Linux would be much cleaner than Windows, especially if you must manually uninstall something, since you easily have the opportunity to understand exactly where everything gets installed in the first place. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Weaver" <drwho1@btinternet.com> To: <blinux-list@redhat.com> Sent: Saturday, December 07, 2002 11:10 AM Subject: UNINSTALLING LINUX PACKAGES > Is Linux much tidier when uninstalling applications? > I ask this question because I sometimes find windows can be untidy when > installing applications because it seems to leave things behind under > control pannel.
