sorry, i have no idea how to do that. i went into /etc/ and found sudoers. then i tried "visudo sudoers -s" and it just gives me usage: visudo [-s] [-v]

i just want to make sure i don't screw up my computer. i ran the package removal command up to the point of me entering my password, but i wanted to make sure i was doing it right cuz i didn't understand the visudo thing.
/Applications/Pkg-Remove-0.3/pkg-remove.command; exit
[localhost:~] jake% /Applications/Pkg-Remove-0.3/pkg-remove.command; exit

what exactly does this pkg-remove do? what files does it remove?

You just type: visudo
(I don't believe this is necessary anyhow)

If you run pkg-remove in verbose and test mode it will show you all the files it *would* remove if you werent in test mode.

You must be root when you use the rm command as the fiels are owned by root. ls -l <files> will tell you who owns the file and what the permissions are.
