Only because there is an active thread about this, and I happen to want to remove my existing installation of Xpdf, I am wondering how my method compares to the Package User method for uninstalling a package. Here's what I do (note: if there are directories, I must manually delete them as I've been too lazy to write a script that does this): [EMAIL PROTECTED]: /home/rml/build > for FILENAME in \ `cat Installed/xpdf-3.00pl3/filelist.log`; do rm $FILENAME; done This is it.
