All your installed packages are named in /var/db/pkg/. If you use tcsh or bash as your shell then its nice to "cd /var/db/pkg" before doing pkg_delete as you can use the filename expansion feature of the shell to type the rest of the package you wish to delete. In tcsh you type the first part and hit <TAB>. The shell will type as much as it can then beep if its not complete. Or you could type, "pkg_info" to get another kind of list. % pkg_info Mesa-3.0 A graphics library similar to SGI's OpenGL XFree86-3.3.6 X11R6.3/XFree86 core distribution a2ps-letter-4.3 Formats an ascii file for printing on a postscript printer. aalib-1.2 An ascii art library acroread-4.0 View, distribute and print PDF documents [...] -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
