I am assuming this works, as I have never tried it, but - first check what games packages you have available to uninstall.

[code:1]
[seb@localhost seb]$ rpm -qa | grep -i games
kdegames-3.1-11mdk
kdegames-devel-3.1-11mdk

[/code:1]

Then
[code:1]
[seb@localhost seb]$rpm -e kdegames-3.1-11mdk
[seb@localhost seb]$rpm -e kdegames-devel-3.1-11mdk
[/code:1]

This should work (hypothetically) but I cant confirm it.

Amazing that I can actully learn something new every day!

I never tried to display all rpm packages and then just grep for games but it's a very usefull command to know to find out other things too. Seb Although you did not repply to this message for me thx for the answer anyway.

There's a spot of dependency trouble when you attempt this...

[code:1]# rpm -e --test kdegames
error: Failed dependencies:
libatlantic.so.1 is needed by (installed) kdeaddons-3.1.3-0.9x.1
libatlantikui.so.1 is needed by (installed) kdeaddons-3.1.3-0.9x.1
libkdegames.so.1 is needed by (installed) kdeaddons-3.1.3-0.9x.1
[/code:1]

However forcing it to remove shouldn't cause any problems unless you want to use atlantikdesigner from kdeaddons.

[code:1]# rpm -e --nodeps kdegames[/code:1]
