That is how I remove old KDE after a big upgrade too, one at a time and |
| 43 |
then confirm with the -p at the end to make sure I got it all. I'll go |
| 44 |
to work on it tomorrow. I'm still half asleep and it may not be a good |
| 45 |
idea right now. |

And to think I cleaned off a hard drive for the install. o_O And |
| 48 |
cleaned off my back-up to do that too. O_O |
