That's the spirit!! Reading manual pages, using help forums a little patience
and caution ... I see you becoming accustomed to linux in no time!! Really!
Now, about the mozilla 1.2 uninstalling: respect dependencies - don't force
rpm to install/uninstall rpms that leave unsatisfied dependencies.
Dependencies are there for a reason - respect them if you want a peace of
mind. Now to uninstall mozilla:
-- See what packets depend on mozilla:
rpm -q --whatrequires mozilla
<depend1>
<depend2>
...
-- Remove these programs first:
rpm -ev <depend1>
rpm -ev <depend2>
...
-- Remove mozilla it's self:
rpm -ev mozilla
You can do all these in one go:
rpm -ev mozilla <depend1> <depend2> ...
That's all there is to it!!
Cheers,
Dominique
