Hi all,
OK, here is probably an easy question that I haven't found the answer yet.
Upgraded Netscape Navigator using the rpm package. Now, assuming I could
find the rpm for the old Netscape Communicator, I would think I could
uninstall using rpm -e <package>.
However, where are these packages located? I did a rpm -Uvh to upgrade the
Netscape Navigator 4.06 package ... what was done with the old package?
Since I can still start Communicator 4.05 it is still on the system.
In general, where are packages located? (I have the smb package and
netscape package in /root, but I would like to put it where it belongs).
Also, I'm looking for the ksmbfs package to get my Linux box onto my NT
network. It's not located at
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/Filesystems/smbfs/ksmbfs-0.3.tgz as listed
in the HOWTO.
Thanks,
