Yes, SuSe also uses RPMs. And all files installed on your system (especially anything installed by default) are part of an RPM package. You can see all of the packages that you have installed by typing:

rpm -qa | sort | more

The instructions I gave you earlier should work on SuSe since it's RPM based.  You might also be able to use SuSe's graphical administration tool (yast) to do this but I've never used SuSe so I am making that assumption.

In fact here's a screen shot from SuSe's web site showing yast2 and it happens to show an install/remove software ICON.  I'm sure that's just a graphical RPM manager and you should be able to remove Apache using that method if you are not comfortable using the command line utilities.

i thought you told me you was running suse 7.3? :)

all the packages installed, like apache are in RPMs and you can just upgrade to the newer versions.. or you can uninstall like mentioned.  the Yast2 add/remove doesnt seem to work that well for me, i use the prompt, or Kpackage in KDE.

Kinki shit how the hell do you know what I'm running better then what I do.  I posted that at work.  But anyway thanks for the help. :)

I tried to do a rpmquery --whatrequires apache and that didn't work?  Anyone know why?  the error was rpmquery: command not found.

So I just did "rpm -e apache-1.3.20-29" and found some things that depended on it.  

mod_php
comanche
mod_ssl

I didn't know what they were so I went ahead and deleted them.  using the rpm.  It's a test computer anyway right?  

So then I deleted apache  and now I think it worked.

Thanks

voidmain:
You removed the packages properly and an equivelant to "rpmquery" would be:

rpm -q -whatrequires apache
