Murda Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Does the concept of unistalling programs if LINUX exist? How do I do it? Hello. Depends on what distribution you are using. If you are using Mandriva, this is the way to do it: Let's say that I want to uninstall an application called "mandi", so I type this into the console: su root <root_pwd> urpme mandi and it will do everything for me. You can also use the Mandriva Control Center (some people call it the MCC) to do it, open up your K -menu (if you are using KDE), go to "System" --> "Settings" --> "Configure your computer". It will ask the root password, supply it and then you get the Control Center. There is a tab called "Package Manager" or "Software Manager" (can't remember the exact one, using Finnish version of Mandriva now). You will find an icon which says "Uninstall packages". Easy way to do it. Remember that every distro has it's own tools for installing and removing software, so you can't use either of these in Debian or Fedora Core, for example. Good Luck.

ianw1974 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Another way to get to it: System/Configuration/Packaging/Remove Software which saves a couple of steps going into Configure Your Computer, also known as mcc - Mandriva Control Centre.
