Works fine, I just can't seem to get rid of it. There is absolutely no problem with it, but I'd like to check out the latest and greatest that SqueezeCenter has to offer.
I've tried uninstalling in in Yast, and manually with rpm -e slimserver, but the error still comes up. When I installed slimserver, I had to manually set up a startup script, and I beleive I ran "inserv" after that, but its been a while, so not exactly sure. I did delete that script, and tried rpm -e slimserver again, but still get the error. In Yast>runlevel services the slimserver option is now gone, but I can still start slimserver manually. Slimserver.pl is still located in /usr/local/slimserver I've never seen this behavior before.
