UNinstall KDE or GNOME completly
 
I have installed my red hat linux 7.2 and also Gnome and KDE.
Now I want to UNinstall one of them completely. What I have to do?

:smash:

man rpm

Read about listing what packages are installed (rpm -la IIRC) and erasing them (rpm -e package_name IIRC)

But this way will I uninstall all the KDE or gnome? cause there is some pendeces. Is it like using a rpm mannager? I want to completely remove KDE or GNOME and all related software.

Or you could do it the GUI way, use gnoRPM. Should give you a list of installed packages, find gnome (or I would advise KDE) and click uninstall.

If I do that it will show all pendences for gnome and then I'll have to take note of all of them and remove one by one on gnorpm.

It's why I'm asking some other better and reliable way.

any way you find to do it, will all come back to using the rpm command anyway. i'd suggest taking out the entire tree for kde.

but unless you're pushed for space, you could do with leaving it there, as they will make more desktop specific applications work, when they have GUI dependent features.

A very good point.
