Uninstalling Packages Getting Started Guide 133 Uninstalling Packages While you are viewing information about any package, you can choose the Unin- stall button below the tab sections to remove that software package from your computer. When you choose Uninstall, all files associated with a software package are removed, and changes to configuration files are reversed. NOTE: If you uninstall a software package, the files are no longer included on your system. You must use your Open- Linux CDROM (or other product files that you might have uninstalled) in order to re-install the software package. Searching for Packages and Files The kpackage utility enables you to search for a package on your system by name, to see if it’s installed or not. To search for a package on your OpenLinux system: 1. Log in as root. 2. Start the kpackage utility. 3. Choose File|Find Package. A search dialog box appears. 4. Enter the name of the package that you want to search for on your system. You can use just part of the name if the substring checkbox is selected in the search dialog box. If you do this, you can choose Find repeatedly to find the next package whose name includes your search term. 5. Choose Find.
