On my server I've completely lost the ability to boot into graphical stuff. I don't care anymore because it's just a server and I can do everything I need to do relative to running a server in the command line. So my question is, how, using RPM or yum, do I get rid of programs such as Koffice, Openoffice, etc. I have no need for them and need to clear up space in the server.
"rpm -e koffice" to remove koffice etc... you'll presumably have kde installed too... so you can "rpm -e kde" potentially too. "rpm -qa" to list all installed packages
Redirect the output of "rpm -qa" to a file & then view the file. The following will do this for you "rpm -qa > rpm.txt" where rpm.txt is the file where the output is redirected to - it can be named anything you like.
