Yes, it can be done. Here are some generic way i) For binary : /usr/local/bin ; /usr/bin ; do a whereis <program-name> to find out where is it located. ii) For config files: /etc/programname.conf ; /etc/programname/ iii) doc files: /usr/share/doc/programname/ ; /usr/doc/programname iv) man files: /usr/share/man. There will be man1 to man8 folders under which the manuals may be scattered. whereis <program-name> command will also give you the location. Moreove, the numbering of man subdirectory is also based on kind of program you have installed. v) lib files: This could be tricky depending on your installed program. If you have lib files under /usr/lib/programname directory, those could be removed safely most of the times. Be careful not to remove any shared lib files. Now, there is a way to find out lib dependency of the installed program, but i could'nt remember it now from the top of my head. I will let you know once i get it. Now, as far as your apache2 program is concered, go to the source directory and read the config.log file. That will provide the location for the places to look for. Optionally, you can also check out the directories chosen during installation by doing .... configure --help|less. -siddhartha > > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > All your favorites on one personal page â Try My Yahoo! > http://my.yahoo.com > > -- > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body > "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line. > FAQ: http://www.ilug-cal.org/node.php?id=3 > -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
