ttellefsen : 29/11/01 12:33 PM : Incident created -   1. What directory should I be installing programs to? Currently I have StarOffice and Netscape downloaded and installed to my Home directory. For some reason, I don't believe this is correct. 2. If I download and install a tar or gzip, use the installer, how do I uninstall it if I don't like the program? Thanks.
Linegod_7611 : 29/11/01 01:02 PM : Reply received -   1. Staroffice 6.0 is not yet 'multiuser' so installing in your home directory for now is correct. IIRC, Netscape should be installed as root, and then it should select the correct directory. 2. Depends on how the program was created. Some will respond to 'make uninstall' (if you used make and make install to install it). Some just don't have an option to uninstall, and you have to manually remove all the files it created. Read the 'README' or 'INSTALL' file that came with the tar.gz, or visit the creators web site.
