Things like sendmail are part of the system, not packages that you can uninstall. If you install a package or port, you can subsequently uninstall it. If it's part of the system, you need to poke around and delete files yourself -- and you need to know what you're doing so that you don't shoot yourself in the foot. If you're really stuck for space, work your way through the directory structure with du to see where there are potential savings to be made -- but think before blindly deleting things or you may end up with something that has plenty of room but no ability to do anything useful. -- Greg Black To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
