&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;So you've installed a bunch of packages that you no longer want and you want to remove them all without having to type yes to everything.  'pkgrm' by default uses an admin file to tell it how to respond to different situations during install and removal of a package.  This file is /var/sadm/install/admin/default.  You can use a copy of this file to alter the behaviour of 'pkgrm' so that it doesn't ask you about every package you want to remove.  To do this, you need to do the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Copy /var/sadm/install/admin/default to your local directory&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  cp /var/sadm/install/admin/default .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Edit your new copy of the default file and change &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  action=ask&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  action=nocheck&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. When you perform the package removal operation, give 'pkgrm' the following parameters:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  pkgrm -n -a /path_to_edited_default_file/default&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  -n means non-interactive&lt;br /&gt;
  -a ''file_name'' means use an alternate admin file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should now remove all the packages you specify without annoying you for interaction :-)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
