That did it. I am now able to remove the package. Thanks for the
lessons and also for making the MS fonts available in rpms.

were already installed. Then when using rpm -e to uninstall them,

All:
Several questions:
* Is there a default location that I can stick applications/links so
that they fire up on startup in Gnome?

~/.ttfonts, and they should work just fine. Is this actually the case?
Thanks.
