Whenever I do some updates, afterwards I go into my distfiles folder with krusader, sort by date and select the newly added files. Then I sort by name again and scroll through the list. Because the new ones are marked, I can find them easily and see whether there are old versions of them right next to them. If so, I select the old version. Then I deselect the old version. And when I'm through the list, I can delete everything that is still selected. This is more thorough than eclean, which by far doesn't find everything. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' *** Quits: TITANIC (Excess Flood)
