Thank you for your prompt reply. As you can probably tell, I'm brand new to both Unix and FreeBSD. When you say "ports deinstall target" are you referring to the pkg_delete command? Also, KDE and XF86 3.x were installed from ports but for XF86 4.x, I followed the directions on the XF86 web site and installed the binaries for FBSD using their install script. pkg_info -aI lists the following regarding XF86 4: XFree86-libraries-4.0.1 X11R6.4/XFree86-4.0 include/(shared) library kit So I didn't compile this myself but I didn't install it via the ports collection. However, it is listed. Do you think this means that the pkg_delete command will work?
