on my server
i run rpm -qa
i see a lot of gnome stuff, which i obvoiusly do not want.

I see like 5 gnome-* things.

gnome-something
gnome-somethingelse

I basically want to remove these, but i don't want to type rpm -e gnome-file

i tried rpm -e gnome-*
but that doesnt work..
It thinks im doing rpm -e $PWD/gnome-* -- but im not

Does anyone know how i can remove rpms like that?

e.g. kde*

alot of those too.
rpm -e kde* --nodeps

I tried to mess around with rpm -e package --allmatches

didnt work though.

Anyone know?

Try this:

rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep gnome`

worked
thanks
