I feel better about following them because they are close to the command line to me and can't be out of date, right? I am looking at this list of makes: # check-old - List obsolete directories/files/libraries. # check-old-dirs - List obsolete directories. # check-old-files - List obsolete files. # check-old-libs - List obsolete libraries. # delete-old - Delete obsolete directories/files/libraries. # delete-old-dirs - Delete obsolete directories. # delete-old-files - Delete obsolete files. # delete-old-libs - Delete obsolete libraries. # I am wondering if I should try these out, or will it just be taken care of with the "cannonical" methods. I seem to have lots of big problems with my configuration.. I don't know. Things work, but dmesg has errors, and many ports fail and their makes, even if they succeed have errors and warnings. If I "delete-old-.." will I be messing things up? *----------------------------------------------------------* Kayven Riese, BSCS, MS (Physiology and Biophysics) (415) 902 5513 cellular http://kayve.net Webmaster http://ChessYoga.org *----------------------------------------------------------*
