With Gnome, KDE, etc. I completely agree with you, portupgrade always manages fudge something up. What are some easy ways to do this... lets say for example I updated to gnome 2.12 what would be an easy (automated) way to remove all of Gnome 2.10 and all of my GTK apps without removing KDE and my QT apps? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
