in order to maintain simplicity, you only want there to be one way to do things. hence providing synonyms for commands is a bad idea. the user has a lot of avenues to figure out the correct syntax. they can read the man page or search the web. and i bet they discover "remove" pretty quickly even if they are used to things being called "uninstall". so, i recommend that this issue not be fixed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
