Hey guys,

I recently compiled a bunch of software on my Debian Etch system for testing. 
After testing I wanted to remove them and I have been running the 'make 
uninstall' command in the source code directory of the respective application. 
I was curious as to how effective this command was. It seems like it removes 
everything it installs.

Now this brings up the obvious question of the usefulness of the checkinstall 
software for managing installations outside of debian repos. I understand 
checkinstall is probably usefull for computers in a lab setup but for personal 
workstation, 'make install' and 'make uninstall' seems to be sufficient.

Any comments?
