I'm relatively new to FreeBSD, having come into a position administering it only a few months ago. My experience is primarily with Red Hat Linux and Solaris. Please bear with me. On several other Unix variants which which I have experience, I could safely remove components of the operating system using the package management system. For instance, if I don't want Emacs installed, I could instruct the package management system (e.g. RPM) to remove Emacs, and all of the files associated with Emacs would be removed. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find a way to remove individual components from FreeBSD. I noticed that I can choose not to install some (broad-based) components at the initial system installation. Is there a way to cleanly remove select components from the system after installation? -- Steve Coile
