Removing rpms manually

Zeebro · 12-03-2003, 06:48 PM

I'm trying to clean up a default installation of Red Hat, removing things such as printing etc, things that I don't need. On trying to remove some of the latter, finding indications of their dependancies, I came across one dependancy that is in the 'Standard Packages' group of 'KDE Desktop Environment'. The package is 'Desktop Printing - Nautilus.....' and I would like to get rid of it if possible so I can slim things down a little.

man rpm

Code:

UNINSTALL OPTIONS
       The general form of an rpm uninstall command is

                rpm -e <package_name>+

       --allmatches
              Remove all versions  of  the  package  which  match
              <package_name>.  Normally  an  error  is  issued if
              <package_name> matches multiple packages.

       --noscripts
              Don't execute  the  preuninstall  or  postuninstall
              scripts.

       --notriggers
              Don't  execute  scripts  which are triggered by the
              removal of this package.

       --nodeps
              Don't check dependencies  before  uninstalling  the
              packages.

Cheers,
Tink
