<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>After installing OFED 1.2 RC1, I can see "uninstall.sh" in "/usr". "ofed_uninstall.sh" is also there under "/usr/sbin". </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>One more thing which is not mentioned in release notes is that libsdp.conf has been moved to /etc. If the "stack_prefix" is /usr, then "libsdp.conf" should be present at "/usr/etc".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
