To uninstall PowerTools packages from your system, you simply remove them in the same way any other RPM-installed package is removed.
First, you have to know the name of the package you would like to uninstall. For example, if you know you want to remove thrust-0.83c-11 from your system, type as root:
rpm -e thrust |
In general, rpm -e <packagename> will remove the package and its related files from your system. The PowerTools CD-ROM is not required for this operation.
For more information concerning the use of RPM, see Official Red Hat Linux Customization Guide.
