Instead, there's a moderately involved C program that's supposed to do the installation. >> Just removing the /packages and /command directories didn't work.

Yup. There is. Including the line in inittab that causes djb's process supervisor to keep restarting. At least the ones in /usr/local/bin are all symbolic links elsewhere, so they're easy to find. I do hope that's all. Is there an easy way to scan a system to find all files that aren't part of any package? Except of course for files like the ones under /home or /usr/local or such? -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
