yum remove PACKAGE
But will this work when the original isntall was done with RPMs and not YUM? I attempted to install OpenOffice.org Beta via YUM, but couldn't find it in a repository. So I had to isntall it from the RPMs offered on the OpenOffice.org site. Then, when I tried to uninstall it, I tried: # yum remove openoffice* ... and: # yum remove openoffice ... but it didn't work. If I have something installed without YUM, how do I use YUM to uninstall it?
I don't think yum should have any problems removing packages even if they were manually installed with the rpm-command. "yum remove openoffice" should work if the package was indeed called openoffice (you can find out with "rpm -qa | grep -i openoffice").
