As was mentioned one way is to use the "make uninstall" target in the original source packages. Another trick I have used is to find _when_ one file of the installed package was installed and then search the whole disk for files that were changed on that exact date and time. It is a bit of overkill but you are pretty sure that you uninstall everything. Obviously this cannot be automated because there may be files (usually logs) that were also changed around that time and you don't want to remove those... For the alsa-driver package you could do: ls -l /lib/modules/2.4.22-2.ll.acpismp/kernel/sound/snd.o this gives back (in my system): -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60949 Aug 28 12:25 /lib/modules/2.4.22-2.ll.acpismp/kernel/sound/snd.o So now you can do this: find / -xdev -ls | grep "Aug 28 12:2" And you will get a list of files that were changed around 12:2* on that day. You can do the same for the alsa-lib (check for the date of /usr/lib//libasound*) and alsa-utils (check /usr/bin/aplay) packages (you may also want to look in /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/bin if you used the default install prefix). -- Fernando ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
