uninstall programs

does anyone know how i can uninstall programs in sabayon linux?

 

Easy, and covered in the sabayon wiki..

for instance to remove opera..

emerge --unmerge opera

 

thanks a bunch

 

so if i want to uninstall torcs it would be merge --unmerge TORCS

 

*emerge but all it says:


grievsa@localhost ~ $ emerge --unmerge TORCS
emerge: superuser access is required.

 

ok found how to login a superuser this is what i get now:
grievsa@localhost ~ $ su -
Password:
localhost ~ # emerge --unmerge TORCS

--- Couldn't find 'TORCS' to unmerge.

 

Is that the actual package name? I haven't heard of it specifically..

also gentoo is unfamiliar to me.

That seems like a pretty comprehensive guide to the package management system sabayon uses.

If you installed from source then ???????

 

Try typing the package name in lower case. Whatever name you used to install it in the first place - a lot of things in Linux are case sensitive. I can see a torcs package on my system, so I guess you're either typing it in wrong or you haven't got it installed.
