How to remove ZMD in OpenSUSE 10.2
From openSUSE
[edit]
Situation
You are not satisfied with ZMD (ZENworks Management Daemon) as your package manager and you want to remove it from the system and use YaST or zypper for software management, YOU (YaST Online Updates) for updates and opensuseupdater to monitor for updates.
[edit]
Procedure
Open any terminal program (ie. Konsole or Gnome Terminal) in super user mode, or open them as normal user and switch to 'root' user by using command:
su -
Next step is to stop ZMD service, just execute this command:
rczmd stop
Finally we can remove ZMD from our system by using this command:
rpm -e zmd libzypp-zmd-backend sqlite-zmd rug zen-updater
After you reboot your system you should easily notice changed 'Software Updater' icon in your system tray, since now, instead of ZEN Updater, you will use openSUSE native tools.
