Yes, as long as nothing is missing from the port's PLIST. If you get a 'unable to remove blah' message when removing the port, then either a) something was modified (config file, whatever), or b) something was installed that wasn't in the PLIST (this doesn't happen all that often, but it does occasionally). If that's the case, just remove the files and directory it's telling you it can't remove. FYI, you can clean the port's work directory by using 'make deinstall clean' instead of just 'make deinstall'. If you'd like to get rid of the source tarball in /usr/ports/distfiles as well, you can use 'make deinstall distclean' which will remove the work directory and the tarball. - jim -- - jim mock - walnut creek cdrom/freebsd test labs - jim@luna.cdrom.com - - phone: 1.925.691.2800 x.3814 - fax: 1.925.674.0821 - jim@FreeBSD.org - - editor - The FreeBSDzine - www.freebsdzine.org - jim@freebsdzine.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
