I have some in lib directories. I skipped the ones in /etc and home directories. This is a example: /lib64/firmware/LICENCE.iwlwifi_firmware /lib64/firmware/liquidio/lio_410nv_nic.bin /lib64/firmware/liquidio/lio_210nv_nic.bin /lib64/firmware/liquidio/lio_210sv_nic.bin /lib64/firmware/iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode /lib64/firmware/LICENCE.atheros_firmware /lib64/firmware/TDA7706_OM_v2.5.1_boot.txt /lib64/firmware/intel/ibt-hw-37.8.10-fw-1.10.3.11.e.bseq /lib64/firmware/intel/fw_sst_22a8.bin /lib64/modules/3.2.11-gentoo/modules.isapnpmap /lib64/modules/3.2.11-gentoo/modules.ieee1394map /lib64/modules/3.2.11-gentoo/modules.pcimap /lib64/modules/3.2.11-gentoo/modules.order /lib64/modules/3.2.11-gentoo/modules.symbols.bin /lib64/modules/4.1.2-gentoo/modules.dep /lib64/udev/scsi_id /lib64/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-input.rules /lib64/udev/rules.d/64-md-raid-assembly.rules /lib64/udev/rules.d/63-md-raid-arrays.rules /lib64/udev/rules.d/90-alsa-restore.rules /lib64/udev/rules.d/99-fuse.rules /lib64/udev/rules.d/77-mm-huawei-net-port-types.rules /lib64/udev/rules.d/95-upower-wup.rules That is just a small snippet. There are so many, it seems odd that that many would be left behind but equery shows they belong to nothing for the ones I tested on. Thought it better to ask first. ;-) May just leave it alone. Dale :-) :-)
