How to uninstall software!
 
Hi am new to linux, I am using Linux SuSe. I have just installed a program, but I dont know how to uninstall it. Is there a builtin program for it like add/remove programs of windows. Thanks!!

How did you install it? As far as I remember, SuSe uses rpm. So maybe you should run the application, open xterm and run ps - so you'll know how the executable is called. Then close the appliation, and run "rpm -qf $(which <known executable name>)" (no quotes, surely). Then try rpm -ev <returned package name without version> and post the output to the forum if it complains.

THere is, have a look in YAST - it has a software install/remove thingy.
