Make sure you are including "rpm -qa | grep kde" in backticks.
So, if you do:
rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep kde`
"rpm -e" will act on the output from "rpm -qa | grep kde"

KDE has several other packages that come with it that aren't named "kde*". (ark, arts, kaboodle, kamera, karm, kcalc, etc...)
At any rate, one way to remove multiple packages is like this:
rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep kde`
i got an error message saying the package rpm -qa | grep kde could not be found. did i get the bash syntax wrong? i did exactly as written above... TIA
You could also dump all the names of the packages you want to remove into a file and do like:
rpm -e `cat <file>`

steve - thanks for your help, that did the trick. there were several dependencies so i'm going to have to sort through what i need and what i don't need. i'm getting a book on bash scripting!
i wonder why the bluecurve package manager doesn't allow you to delete the kde after it is installed... sigh.
thank you. gene
