Newbie: How to uninstall Crossover Office, installed with sh ~/installer.sh


Looking through the forums and a few other places I've found out how to uninstall something if you make install it, or if you've installed through an rpm, but I'm not sure how to uninstall when it was installed through a .sh file.

This is the first time I've used Linux so if the solutions could explain why I'm doing something and what it's doing that'd be great. It's good to know that I have to go to prompt su to root and then type /unf siar -1rt-xx-r-s-t-a ~/unmake devoid rectify\go, but it's not much help in future problems if I don't know what any of that means. Thanks.

Remove the directory and its contents at /opt/cxoffice and remove the directory and contents of .cxoffice in home dirs where crossover was used. Bring up the editor on your Kmenu (right click for Menu Editor) and manually remove the Crossover entries.

So there's no registry entries or anything like that that I have to worry about?

In general. SUSE does have a registry of sorts, but it's primarily for the tracking of hardware (and in particular hotpluggable stuff).

99% of the time you can just remove the files HOWEVER.. with SUSE if the package was installed with rpm, you need to remove it via rpm just so the rpm database doesn't get confused (I suppose that would be the equivalent of a software product registry on SUSE).
