Help reverting back all files similar to a clean install fedora 17
 
I need to revert back all files in my fedora 17 back to the same as when I did a clean install. I DO NOT want to do a clean install. Any help appreciated....

I was trying to install the latest proprietary catalyst driver for my video card and mess up to the point I can't boot graphically. Then I install a bunch of fusion catalyst rpms which did not work also. I wish to start over but not from scratch....

Thanks

Boot into runlevel 3 and then:
Code:

sudo rpm -e <whatever rpms you installed>
or is there more to it than that?
