GNome Un-install?

[Ali Helmy]

Hey

I am currently using KDE on my FC4 system, and I dont need nor use Gnome 99%
of the time, so I wanted to remove it form the system. The Add/Remove
applications program can only remove certain packages from gnome, but not
all of it, nor its core files.

Is there anyway I can remove GNome DE?

PS: how can i know a package name for a certain program? i mean if i have
like, program x, or package x listed in the Add/Remove program, how do i get
to know its package name to remove it with rpm?

Thanks

# yum groupremove "GNOME Desktop Environment"

Add/Remove Program (system-config-packages) doesnt understand 
repositories. This is scheduled to be fixed for the final release of 
Fedora Core 5. For now you can use Yumex which is a graphical frontend 
for yum available from the Fedora Extras repository.

Try:

$ rpm -qif /usr/bin/evolution
