I prefer portmanager -slid.
I've always used pkg_rmleaves... pops up a nice little dialog listing all the ports that aren't required by any other ports... check the ones you want to get rid of... on my non-serious boxes I tend to check anything I don't recognize and/or things I know I want gone. Then it repeats the process with any new ports that are no longer required due to anything you just removed. Seems to work pretty well for me... _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
