Thanks Mark. I have now removed them -- and a stack of symlinks to them in /usr/bin /usr/local/bin and so on. And then I remembered I had to purge package djbinstaller as well! Pity it never worked though -- people who use tinydns speak well of it. No, you are right, it saves little space, but it does tidy things up and remove some non FHS directories. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
