Hi, I've been continuously upgrading my machine from (I think) RELEASE-4.8, and I'm beginning to see lots of cruft from older releases accumulating. What are the list's feelings on deleting the majority of files listed by: find / /usr -xdev -mtime +7 There are plenty there that I created or belong the packages e.g. /etc/mail/$HOSTNAME.mc and /etc/X11/XFConfig but what about, for example: /etc/netconfig /etc/pam.d/ftpd /etc/periodic/daily/100.clean-disks /etc/amd.map /sbin/ip6fw /sbin/ilmid /lib/libdevstat.so.4 /lib/libutil.so.4 /rescue/ipmon Obviously dollops of common sense are needed, but has anyone attempted to formalize this type spring cleaning? Regards, Richard
