removing files based on `sysclean -a` output might be dangerous. it will list all files, even the one still used by packages. it could result in not working packages. `sysclean` (without option) is safer. please note that the stage 'configure /etc/sysclean.ignore' is important to exclude from the output configuration files (in /etc) you manually created. as a remainder, sysclean will only *LIST* files (it is pledged read-only), and doesn't remove anything itself. thanks. -- Sebastien Marie
