Removing KDE

[Greg Lobring]

I've researched and found out how to remove older unused kernels on my
system. I open a terminal, change to root and do an "rpm -e
<kernel-name>".

However, I exclusively use Gnome on my machine (it is simply a
web-surfing, email, open office and number cruncher). I don't use it
as a server or firewall of any type. Its basically a machine that if
something went belly up on it, I would simply wipe it out and start
over without shedding a tear.

Anyway, I would like to totally remove KDE on this system. However,
with my initial tinkering, it didn't seem like it would be as easy as
removing a kernel.

I am hoping to avoid the loss of anything that would impact my current
set-up as far as Gnome is concerned. My hard drive is already 1/3
filled, and I am looking to free up some space.

Is there a 'easy' way to remove KDE from my system (from the command
line)? Thanks in advance for any advice.
