Re: gnome2 and packages cleanup
# Gareth Campbell: I was installing gnome2 from the ports collection (on dial-up!) and it took like 3 days of constant work when it finally ran out of space on my /usr drive (only using a 6.4gig). I thought this would be more than enough, but alas... Did you run a 'make clean' in between? During the build process, the work-directories are _not_ removed and they tend to eat up quite a lot of space. The whole gnome probably isn't more than 300M installed (if that).

If you have portupgrade installed you can run portsclean -CDP. then go into the x11/gnome2 metaport and run make install clean to restart the build where it left off. you can also tell make to prefetch all the src tarballs so you don't have to stay online... but I forgot what it was called. you could also opt for the x11/gnome2-lite metaport. otherwise you could maybe try pkg_delete -r foobar, check the man page. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I thought this would be more than enough, but alas... So I guess Gnome is too much for my wee system so I want to go back to using enlightenment. My issue is that now my system is full of packages that I don't need. How do I clean up my system of all of these packages without deleting packages that enlightenment uses??
