If you only "remove" and then change your mind and re-install, the program will still have any system configuration files from before to work from. If you "completely remove" then re-install, it starts more-or-less from scratch. (This doesn't affect PERSONAL configuration files which live in each user's home directory, just the system-wide configuration files that usually live in /etc ) And I don't think you need to worry too much about it; the package manager is smart enough not to get rid of dependencies to applications you still have. Have a great day! Simón </blockquote>
