<p>How can I uninstall all of Fink?</p>
</question>
<answer>
- <p>Almost all files installed by Fink are in /sw (or wherever you
- chose to install it). Thus in order to get rid of Fink, enter this
- command:</p>
- <codeblock>sudo rm -rf /sw</codeblock>
- <p>The only exception to this rule is XFree86 or X.org. If you
installed
- an X server through Fink (i.e., you installed the <code>xfree86</code>,
- <code>xfree86-rootless</code>, or <code>xorg</code> packages, instead
of using
- <code>system-xfree86</code>) and want to remove it, you will need
- additionally to enter this:</p>
- <codeblock>sudo rm -rf /usr/X11R6 /etc/X11
/Applications/XDarwin.app</codeblock>
+ <p>Almost all files installed by Fink are in <filename>/sw</filename>
+ (or wherever you chose to install it), except for a few exceptions.
+ Thus, in order to get rid of Fink, enter this command:</p>
+ <codeblock>
+fink remove --recursive daemonic xinitrc
+sudo rm -rf /sw
+ </codeblock>
<p>If you aren't planning to reinstall Fink you also will want to
remove the "<code>source /sw/bin/init.csh</code>" line you added to
your <filename>.cshrc</filename> file or the "<code>source
/sw/bin/init.sh</code>" line you added to your
<filename>.bashrc</filename> file, whichever is appropriate to your
- setup, using a text editor.</p>
+ setup, using a text editor. If you had the <code>xinitrc</code>
package
+ installed, then you will want to restore the original
+ <filename>/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc</filename>, which has been
backed up
+ as <filename>/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.YYYYMMDDhhmm</filename>,
+ i.e. the extension has a year, month, date, hour, and minute). If you

can use</p>
