Thanks for the reply!!
The rpm -e and the 'samba-*' I understand, but where does the $(rpm -qa 'samba-*') come from? I ask this only because I really want to learn Linux - if I had stuck with it 2 years ago, I would not have to ask now ...
Again, thanks in advance Llaamaboy
Well, the 'rpm -e' is to uninstall. Instead of having you go thru to find every single package with starting with 'samba-' you're telling rpm to remove every instance of 'samba-*' it finds when doing a rpm -qa (query all install rpm packages). Now, you're probably going to run into dependency problems, so if you're planning on reinstalling a different version of Samba (newer / better), you can do a '--nodeps' so that rpm doesn't check for packages that depend on Samba. But I recomend that you don't do that at first....just so you don't break something you may not be able to fix.
