Cleaning Out Ports?

2005-01-31 Thread Matt LaPlante
I know the ports system is designed to install dependencies automatically, but how does one go about removing them? Say one large package installs several dependencies, but then later on that package is removed...and now we're left with several orphaned packages. Is there a way to either detect,

2005-02-16 Thread Matt LaPlante
Right now I've got a server running FreeBSD 4.11. My question is, is there a way to automatically run fsck on a system reboot, without having to go through the process of sitting at the computer, changing the run level, etc, etc. Clearly it's beneficial in a work environment to be able to wait til
