[ILUG] packages?

[Smith, Graham - Computing Technician]

On Redhat systems use rpm  (Redhat Package Manager)
Here's some basic commands, if you need anything more 
detailed see the man page or a suitable HOWTO document.

listing installed:
rpm -qa

installing a package:
rpm -Uvh package.rpm

removing a package:
rpm -e package_name  

that should get you started....

Doing a 'nixer' for friend, he has Red Hat 7 system with all manner
of shite installed on it, its not urgent at all, but since I have a
free second I tought I would ask here..

Question is if there is a standard way of removing
'packages' - ala Solaris and pkgrm..

I'm not aware of such a package, I would think it is simply finding
offending package file by file

please let me be wrong..
