Installers should not be blindly removing entire directory structures. It would be much friendlier to simply move them out of the way, in case there happens to be an important (to the user) file inside that directory tree. Or maybe tar.gz them up, if you're concerned about disk space or inodes. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
