There's also a key sequence I believe (I use IceWM, so the same keys don't apply).

Everything generally ran just fine afterward, though I usually had to pass the proper prefix for locations when compiling things. > I always do either rpm -Uvh or rpm -Fvh.

I would assume the higher-numbered ones, but since they prolly shouldn't have installed together anyway, I'd want to see what I have for others and see what else I might be able to get rid of. Of course, one could be surprised (as has happened to me on other things) by getting rid of something lower-numbered, and taking out everything else related and finding that nothing works when it's over. Not typical, but not out of the question either. -- Don't bother me.
