It seems ( unless Im wrong ) that most gnome progs expect gnome to be in /usr/local instead of /opt/gnome whatever, i would like to remove all the gnome stuff on my machine ie libs etc and start again by hand. Can someone give me some pointers about which directories i can remove Ive already done the rpms etc Id also like to know which environment vars Suse is setting up for me by default and how to stop it. eg GNOME_DIR thanks dids
