Is it listed in modules.conf? If so, get rid of it there. You could try compiling the source (or going into the source tree, if you haven't deleted it) and try typing 'make uninstall' at the end of the procedure. Many do this. Some don't. You can run kudzu manually to see if it will remove it. It could reboot in the middle of what you're doing. So you might be forced to go in with a rescue disk or single user mode to keep it stable long enough to fix the problem. -- Don't bother me. I'm living happily ever after. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
