Uninstalling in Linux - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Sorry for the total newbie question I'm just kind of confused here.

I just installed an rpm of wine, and it made a /wine-c/ folder where it "plays windows". I want to use my actually windows partition (fstab mounted at /mnt/hda1/) if this is possible.

The only way I can see of doing this is building wine from source and setting it up myself, so I want to uninstall it.

I JUST installed it with an rpm, I then I just did:

rpm -e wine.rpm

Say's the package isn't installed... I don't want two wines sitting around my system :/

Ideas?

Umm... try

wine -q | grep wine

to get a kist of all the packages that are installed with wine in the name.. I'm 90% sure thats the right command, but I'm not in that OS atm to test it for you...

Thanks, apparently just using the program name rather than the actually rpm package is the trick.

rpm -e wine got rid of most the stuff.

The RPM package wasn't wine.rpm, anyway. Your didtro probably includes a GUI package manager, you may want to use that.
