Perhaps you could look through /var/db/pkg, and any package that doesn't have a "+REQUIRED_BY" file would be flagged as a package you need to install. --pete -- Pete Fritchman [petef@(databits.net|freebsd.org|csh.rit.edu)] finger petef@databits.net for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
