Afaik pkg_delete has a switch (maybe n) that will just tell you what it would do. I've never tried it but i've seen it in man pages, you might be able to script something with that to pkg_delete -n/copy the files somewhere else/pkg_delete. peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pietro Cerutti" <pietro.cerutti@gmail.com> To: "Mehmet Fatih AKBULUT" <mfatihakbulut@gmail.com>; "FreeBSD" <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Friday, December 09, 2005 1:15 PM Subject: Re: Purge all removed packages ?
