I would like to Uninstall OpenOffice from my Mandrake 9.2. system.
Currently using IceWM as window manager.

I ran the setup file as local user, and was able to uninstall the local setup for Openoffice. But can't seem to uninstall it completely from my workstation.
The Uninstall deletes OpenOffice in : /home/maxwell/OpenOfficexxx
But in /opt/OpenOffice/ nothing happens. It won't uninstall there.
I tried running the setup as root, but then the Konsole doesn't recognize "setup" as a command.

On the OpenOffice site I can't find any information, and via google most searches come up with windows uninstall information.

Anyone here with any experience in uninstalling OpenOffice ?

Thank you.

Look in the Mandrake Control Center in the same location where you installed IceWM. There is also an icon for uninstalling apps. That is the best way to uninstall in MDK.

Yes, I looked there.

but, euhm, well, I didn't find it (now that's not a new story is it).
I used the search function as well. No luck.

I did do an install with the tarball from OpenOffice.org, and not of the Mandrake discs. I didn't know it was on those discs.

Damnit, These first linux steps are complicated.

And I haven't even begun getting the sound working

It will pay off in the end, trust me! To keep things uncomplicated, stay away from tarballs unless that is the only way to install something you really want. Always go with the mdk rpm. It makes installing and uninstalling much simpler. Then, once you start feeling comfortable, try installing tarballs. One step at a time!

Thanks, I was beginning to think the same
