For cleaning package tarballs from packages that are no longer installed, there's a python script out there which is named distclean.py (version 0.1), i actually don't remember where i took it from. To cleanup a gentoo box from packages which are no longer needed because no other package depends on it anymore, the command 'emerge depclean' can be used. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
