]# mount /mnt/cdrom

]# cd /mnt/cdrom/contrib

]# ls xwpe*

]# xwpe-1.4.1-11.i386.rpm   xwpe-X11-1.4.2-11.i386.rpm

]# rpm -V xwp*
   package xwpe-1.4.1-11.i386.rpm is not installed  
   package xwpe-X11-1.4.2-11.i386.rpm is not installed   // <-- !!!!!

]# rpm -i xwpe*
   package xwpe-X11-1.4.2-11 is already installed        // What the
F@#K ?
   error: xwpe-X11-1.4.2-11.i386.rpm can not be installed

Alrighty, I did install once the rpm xwpe-X11 but now I can not get it
off my drive and there is crap from on there.  

how can I take it off ?
