Let's take removing Samba as an example: 1. pkg_info | grep -i samba 2. wait for a long time. 3. pkg_delete samba-2.0.6 Using pkg_remove, 1. pkg_remove -n samba 2. wait for a short period of time to see what might be deleted, e.g. dependencies. 3. if you decide to go ahead with the removal: pkg_remove samba Regards, Phone: (250)387-8437 Cy Schubert Fax: (250)387-5766 Team Leader, Sun/DEC Team Internet: Cy.Schubert@osg.gov.bc.ca Open Systems Group, ITSD, ISTA Province of BC To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
