Works like a charm. Patrick I use a program called pkg_cutleaves. It's located in /usr/ports/sysutils/pkg_cutleaves. You run it as root and basically you select the main program(s) you want to deinstall. If the program you deinstall has any dependencies it will give you the option to deinstall them as well. Hope this helps.

Really not nice, or am I doing something wrong ? Add the -i flag. From the man: -i --interactive Request confirmation before attempting to delete each package, regardless whether or not the standard input device is a terminal. A little more hands on, but it'll keep you from nuking something you want to keep. Beech -- --- Beech Rintoul - Sys.
