LINUX CLASSES - MANAGING LINUX How Do I Uninstall a Linux Software Package?
Uninstalling Packages If you're short on disk space, use RPM to uninstall one or more packages. Uninstalling is
even easier than installing, because you need to know only the package name, not the
name of the original package file. Here's how to remove the dogfood package:
rpm -e dogfood
RPM will tell you if the removal of the package will cause problems for other installed
packages. If it will, you may see a message like this:
removing these packages would break dependencies:
dogfood is needed by fido-1.0-1
If you're sure you know what you're doing, you can add the --nodeps flag, and RPM will
skip the dependency checks and uninstall the package anyway.

@tom bias
put your xp disk and reboot go to advanced setting and format the logical
drive where the linux is installed now install the xp.
after installation is over go to control panel->administration->disk
management now combine all your free space in to another logical drive..

@Tom - Pop in the Windows install CD, restart your computer, and it will
install Windows. If the installer asks if you want to format the disk, say
yes.

@kyawkyawzaw - Good news... I already did! I'm always amazed by the
comments that say "Send me the info about XXX" when the information is
RIGHT THERE on the page in front of them. Sigh...

Hi Dear!
I am installing perl module manually with make install or ./configer in
Linux red hat, so how i can uninstall that module again and how i can check
that how much module are installed in my red hat Linux operating System..
I welcome your comments. However... I am puzzled by many people
who say "Please send me the Linux tutorial." This website *is* your Linux Tutorial! Read everything here, learn
all you can, ask questions if you like. But don't ask me to send what you already have. :-)
