Hi, I need help on uninstalling a wine Installation from Fedora 16.  I'm a
newbe here so please show grace on this.   I installed wine using the yum
command "yum install wine."  After i did, I went online and determined that
I had erroneously installed EVERY wine app that YUM had found.  The
sub-menu only shows the following items installed:

Notepad
Regedit
Wine Boot
Wine Configuration
Wine File
Wine Help
Wine OLE View
Wine Software Installer
Wine Wordpad

I've even got a winemine game on my pc now, lol.  Realizing my error before
I configured the pregrams (I already recieved messages about possible
conflicts), I tried to uninstall the program. It didn't show up in the
installed programs since I hadn't yet configured it?  I tried to delete the
files via the "yum remove wine" command and several others.  No matter what
I did, I could not get the files off my system.  Once I do get this
un-done, I intend to install only the wine meta package.  One would
probably think I had a little too much wine before the installation but
I'll need a bottle after this is over..

At any rate, anyone have any ideas on how to get the files off my system?
I'm afraid with all the wine apps installed, I'd have a nightmare if I went
through with the configuration.

Jim
