KDE package remover?
 

what is the command line for that program? and also, how can i uninstall KDE and reinstall it?

Packaging programme for KDE... kpackage?
Why un-install it? Why not just over-install it. Get the rpm/dev/tgz files and just re-install them with the --force option. Will overwrite anything that is already there... but it doesn't do dependency checking, so you may need to look out for that.

The command is kpackage. However, if your attempting to un/reinstall KDE, I would suggest using YAST2 to do it.

hmm, maybe you can help me with this..... i just want to completly remove everything KDE, then install Gnome..... how can i do this?

note: im still a newbie

Which distro are you running?

If you have the space, why not just install Gnome as well? That way you can run either KDE or Gnome applications regardless of which desktop environment you are using.

And if you use a graphical login manager, you can effortlessly switch between windowing environments using the Session menu (at least on Red Hat distros).

I'm running mandrake 9.2


and i dont have the space to have both, so its one or the other, so HOW can i uninstall KDE then install Gnome?

thanks!
:newbie:

first of all, kpackage doesnt work!

second of all, im not useing a graphical login thinger

fourthly i think i still have bits and peices of Gnome on...


Basicly, i just want to get rid of everything Gnome and KDE..... then start over (i screwed up some files and i just want to have a clean start to KDE or Gnome)



So, how can i uninstall EVERYTHING KDE and Gnome then reinstall KDE or Gnome (which do you perfer?)

thanks :newbie:

OK.. I guess YaST2 won't work then... however, I'm sure Mandrake has some central system configuration tool like YaST2. I suggest using it to remove the unwanted programs. They are much more reliable in removing unwanted software without creating system inconsistencies.
