Question remove installed package on LFS


hi everyone, i need some guide here, i hope someone can help,

how can i remove a package installed with BLFS guide? should i just delete the installed program, directory, and libraries that are listed on the last section of the package installation instruction on BLFS?

im trying to remove ppp-2.44 package, and im using BLFS Version svn-20110105.

thanks before

lfs support a number of things like chkinstall. If you didn't use that, or one of the others, and you run 'make uninstall' from the top source, that often works. This is dangerous, because libraries may be installed by several packages. So you may uninstall libraries something else needs.

That doesn't prevent you cleaning out /usr/lib/pppd*, /usr/share/pppd* etc.
