Hi,

is there a way to easily uninstall a rpm file? Even if I don't have the original RPM?
I know the PKG files can be uninstalled by the folder /var/lib/cobalt/uninstallers, so I was wondering if that would be possible with RPM's.

Thanks.

Juan

Yes there is a way, just do this:

rpm -e packagename

Is there a way to view the names of the installed packages on the server?

rpm -qa

you should really read the rpm man pages ("man rpm") for the concise story of how to work rpm, or get hold of an rpm book for the unabridged story of how to make rpm work for you. maximum rpm seems to be the canonical reference, and is actually freely available at http://www.rpm.org
