Thomas, I found a command that lists all the dependancies of a package. Lemme go find it again... ...Ah! Here it is. Actually, there's lots of query options in the rpm command. Type 'man rpm'. rpm -qa Package - Lists all installed packages rpm -qR Package - Lists components the package depends on etc. hmmm, look around the man and --help. there may be one showing what files are only required by the Package you are uninstalling.
