Pete, I feel like a dummy for never having looked in /var/db/pkg in which I would have seen this transparent structure you point out. I guess my problem of getting a minimal package set is easily solved with some scripting. Just for curiosity (and maybe I just tried out Gnome and now I want to get rid of it and its sundry parts), how would one deal with sjt's desire of a maximal pkg_delete? Is such a feature present in some tool? -r >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii >Content-Disposition: inline >User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i >In-Reply-To: <200202180053.QAA10387@eskimo.com>; from ripper@eskimo.com on Sun, Feb 17, 2002 at 04:53:10PM -0800 > >++ 17/02/02 16:53 -0800 - Ross Lippert: >| >| Gregory, >| >| OK, you are starting to get it.
