From workstation run the lab software-yum start command. The command runs a start script that determines if the host, servera, is reachable on the network.

[student@workstation ~]$ lab software-yum start

Use the ssh command to log in to servera as the student user. The systems are configured to use SSH keys for authentication, so a password is not required to log in to servera.
```
[student@workstation ~]$ ssh student@servera
...output omitted...
[student@servera ~]$ 
```

Use the sudo -i command to switch to the root user at the shell prompt.

[student@servera ~]$ sudo -i
Password: student
[root@servera ~]#

On your system, the history is probably different.

Use the yum history info command to confirm that the last transaction is the group installation. In the following command, replace the transaction ID by the one from the preceding step.

[root@servera ~]# yum history info 6

Use the yum history undo command to remove the set of packages that were installed when the guile package was installed. On your system, find the correct transaction ID from the output of the yum history command, and then use that ID in the following command.
```
[root@servera ~]# yum history undo 5
```

Log out of the servera system.

[root@servera ~]# exit
logout
[student@servera ~]$ exit 
Connection to servera closed.
[student@workstation ~]$

Finish

On workstation, run the lab software-yum finish script to finish this exercise.

[student@workstation ~]$ lab software-yum finish

This concludes the guided exercise.
