How to manually remove Sun One DS 5.2 (Linux)?

I occasionally :) deleted /var/Sun/mps. When I try to reinstall everything with setup, program says that every componetnt is already installed, so I have to remove everything else first.How do I remove DS completely?

Its probably still there in the rpm database (its Solaris equivalent is the productregistry, at /var/sadm/install... and command is prodreg.

Try an rpm -qva or something similar to see the list of RPM's installed on the system, and grep to see if any of the DS rpms are there. If yes, get rid of all of them.

As a rule, try removing packages using rpm on Linux.

(Am assuming you are on RedHat Linux. Each flavour has its own equivalent for RPM. RPM is RedHat specific)

Oh, sorry. I'm using SuSE Linux, there are rpms too.I can't find DS rpm's installed nor via rpm - qva, nor via automatic suse tools. What rpms should I look for?Yep, I know :) It just happened.

# cd /var/tmp

# rm -f productregistry Directory_Server_install* Administration_Server_install*
