No, "pkg_delete" only throws away the installed files, as does "make deinstall" (only "make deinstall" should be called from the proper directory while "pkg_delete" works everywhere). "make clean" removes the source from the ports-directories, it does nothing with installed ports. Edwin -- Edwin Groothuis | Interested in MUDs?
