I've managed to get RedHat running and I've been downloading programs
from the Net like crazy, and testing all of them.

However, my harddisk is getting a bit full now and I wonder...

How do I UNINSTALL those programs!!! There are INSTALL-instructions,
but no uninstall. (I mainly use those tar.gz files instead of those
RPMs)

This is also a bit annoying when trying to install a newer version of
something and it says that the old one was already installed.

Your help please.
