I've been keeping up to date with cvsup so now I'm running 4.2-Stable. The problem is, is there a way I can get rid of sendmail from my system as in remove it with somethign like "pkg_delete" as it does not show up in pkg_info, I cannot delete it [I want to try running qmail] Also I'm wondering the same thing about perl and the various other programs installed in the base system, how would one go about removing them from the system? Or my current delima, yes I can disable sendmail, in rc.conf and make.conf, but all it's crap is still out there on the system [yes I can probably get rid of most of it manually], how do people that use qmail/postfix/other mailer deal with this? cvsup/make world question: When I do cvsup with tag=RELENG_4 and ports all, i get the new ports layout and update to the current stable branch of the 4.x series, then when i do make buildworld, i'm confused: Does it also rebuild all the ports I have installed with the bug fixes or does it only rebuild those base programs that came with the system? If it only rebuilds the base programs that came with the system ok, so to update ports I have to manually do pkg_info ....ahh this port needs update etc.? www.nul.cjb.net www.FreeBSD.org _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
