- The jdk was installed (foolishly, without thinking) in my home directory, <snip>
No. The "foolishly, without thinking" was that I did NOT install with YaST; if I had, the answer to (2) would have been the same as for (1), and no problem would exist. What is a safe way to remove the jdk, given that YaST is of no help?
Therefore I assume that you installed with rpm without running the SuSEconfig script ... uninstalling with rpm should remove the package without any problems... not knowing what you options you used to install I would refer to the rpm manpage for the appropriate options to uninstall...
This must refer to the jre package, <jre-1.6.0_02-fcs> (which YaST shows with a padlock - how do I remove the protection?).
Right click on the padlock, and select the dustbin to remove package...
But the installed jdk doesn't show in the list of packages at all, because it was not installed with rpm; it came with its own installer, as <jdk-6u2-nb-5_5_1-linux-ml.bin>. How to remove it?

Ah, that was the piece of info that was important! Well, the simplest thing to do is leave it alone, the SuSE configuration will know nothing about it. ... The SUN stuff I believe comes with an uninstaller bin, but it is a long time since I went down this route, and 1.6 is rather new...(last time was I did this was for installing Netbeans.. ). If the requirement is for 1.6, there may relevant material on the SuSE web site in the alternate repositories (I have not looked yet!) - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
