[Spacewalk-list] Recommended way to uninstall Spacewalk

[visinix the great]

I assume your talking about the spacewalk client?

If you are, doing as you suggested is just that simple. I have done this a
few times, and I remove all things spacewalk.

rpm -qa |grep spacewalk

This will get you all the spacewalk specific stuff. Replace spacewalk with
osad if you have that part of the setup in place as well.

I believe that yum will remove all the files and configs so long as they
are stock / default. If you made a change they will hand around. On
reinstall, it should preserve these files. Look in /etc/sysconfig/rhn for
most of these.

In any case, if you are just reinstalling, this should do it for you, its
worked enough for my needs.
