How do I remove a simple piece of software? I want to get rid of the automatically installed solitaire "games" in my brand new Fedora 18. I tried the gnome way, but nothing gets listed when I search for "silitaire". I tried the command line way: > $ su -c 'yum remove *solitaire' > Password: > Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit > No Match for argument: *solitaire > No Packages marked for removal

The program you are looking for is `/usr/bin/sol`, part of package aisleriot. In any case, you should be able to:


yum erase /usr/bin/sol


(`yum` understands package names, file names and features provided; and also handles groups of packages).
