What distro are you using?

If you're using Debian (or a variation thereof) you can use dpkg --purge packagename and that will get rid of it in it's entirety.
I believe there is an uninstall feature with rpm, too (for you rpm-based distros). Try man rpm at the command line and it should show you all the options when using the rpm command.

I am using Mandrake 7.2. I ask because it came as an rpm but all it does is create an installer and the installer does the work. All the rpm did is create a directory and put the installer files there and I killed that already. How to undo what the installer did. Hmmm, I let it overwrite my /usr/local/netscape folder. Hmm. I may just uninstall it all and install 4.76 or 4.75. Ok, NEVERMIND GUYS/GALS

Hmmm, how would this sound? Take the rpm for 4.75 and do rpm -Uhv <file>.rpm --force. What do ya think, that should restore /usr/local/netscape back, what do you all think?
