But what if you just want to remove software? This is a very straightforward process as well. Locate
the package you want to remove under the Installed Applications tab. Select it, and click the
Install/Remove button. The package, along with any that depend on it, is removed from the system.
(You may also choose not to remove the dependent packages.)
Mandriva Linux Control Center
The Mandriva Linux Control Center (MLCC), also called DrakConf, provides an intuitive and
accessible means of configuring various system resources. You can use this tool to add new hardware,
configure installed applications, add or remove applications (by invoking RPMDrake), and
change the configuration of your existing hardware.
To open the MLCC, select Applications???System???Configure Your Computer. Figure 16-2 shows
an example of the Mandriva Linux Control Center.
You can also use the control center to adjust your default system security levels, change your display
options, schedule events, manage user accounts, and even change the system time/date setting.
The MLCC uses a number of installation and configuration wizards to help you get rolling.
For example, a wizard for Apache Web server setup enables you to get your HTTP server online in
just a few minutes. Some of the key improvements and features of MLCC in Mandriva Linux are:
Secure, remote system configuration from any network
Automatic detection of hot swappable devices without restarting the system
Large icons that are easy to see and appropriately related to the functions they invoke
