I want to get rid of the automatically installed solitaire games in my brand new Fedora 18. I tried the gnome way, but nothing gets listed when I search for silitaire. I tried the command line way:  $ su -c 'yum remove *solitaire'  Password:  Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit  No Match for argument: *solitaire  No Packages marked for removal  
How do I remove a simple piece of software?
fedora;yum;gnome3
The program you are looking for is /usr/bin/sol, part of package aisleriot. In any case, you should be able to:yum erase /usr/bin/sol(yum understands package names, file names and features provided; and also handles groups of packages).
