There is a menu-ish version of pkg_cutleaves called pkg_rmleaves. I use this to clean up any ports that don't aren't depended upon anymore and that I don't need anymore. When new leaf-packages (packages that arent depended upon) are created by doing so it will show them again and allow you to remove these too (and so on, recursively). I found this to be a really easy way to clean up an entire system in a matter of minutes. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
