 Hello guys, once again.
 
 Many thanks to the previous responders to my question 'Customizing the
 console - Changing the resolution'. Their answers were exactly what I
 was looking for. 
 
 I am tempted to ask you, readers of this news-group,  a question again,
 but I promise I'll try not overwhelm you with my questions.  I needed to
 ask you because I didn't want to reinvent the wheel.
 
 Here is my question: Is there any way to uninstall a set of applications
 (the application that are interrelated through dependencies)? The reason
 I need to do that is because I've installed Gnome 1.4 on a clean OS, but
 soon I realized I wanted Gnome 2. In the process of installing Gnome 1.4
 pkg_add has installed many additional software that were needed for
 Gnome 1.4. If I want to uninstall Gnome 1.4, pkg_delete would leave the
 rest on my machine which I definitely don't need them, and will have
 problem I if I were to install Gnome 2.0. 

In your case, since you say you installed on a clean OS, pkg_delete -a will 
remove all installed packages. Otherwise, pkg_delete -r may be usefull.
See man pkg_delete.

 
 Thanks again, 
 
 DT
