[CentOS] OT: Google Earth - How to uninstall, before installing newest version?
Desktop is CentOS 5.4 (32 bit). I have Google Earth version 4.2.205.5730 (13NOV2007 build date) installed. I have checkinstall (spelling?) installed, but am not sure if that was installed before or after Google Earth was installed. I have the Google Repository installed, but apparently Google Earth cannot be updated via yum and probably it was not installed via yum. Question: What is the best way for me to uninstall this version of Google Earth, completely, before I install the newest version? (This also applies to removing Skype, which I am certain was not installed via yum, before I install the static version of Skype, that was recently recommended on the list). TIA and Happy Holidays!

Robert: I will try .uninstall and I hope it is there for me to use. Thanks! I am one of those who hasn't gotten audio out of the microphone, using the Skype Beta on Linux, but others have it working properly. Recently, there was a thread, about a Static (?) version of Skype, which seems to work well, so after I get the new version of Google Earth installed (Norad tracks Santa with Google Earth: http://www.noradsanta.org/en/track3d.html) I am going to uninstall the Skype Beta I now have and install the Static version of Skype. I have used Skype on M$ Windows and the call quality is usually excellent. Also, for video chat. Calls from Skype to Skype are free. I started to reply to your answer and clicked wrong and sent an extra message to the list. Sorry! Lanny ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
