This latgest on "uninstall" in this thread is bordering the question I had earlier on "weeding out" unneeded things.
Uninstalling a program compiled on a machine seems to work like that indeed. BTW, I got another command (syntax) told: > make clean > make distclean (this from in the dir from which it was installed or rather, "./configure" was run.) Next question then is where to find (and delete) obsolete files which had been installed collaterally (however automatically, package driven or not) earlier ? For instance, "ldd <prog-name>" apparently lists a number of files "referenced" [sic, <g>] by that _one_ program. But it's clearly a hassle to have this done for _all_ programs in order to find out those some files the use of which is not shared. (One of my fatter, though far from complete installations has almost 60,000 files...) // Heimo Claasen // <hammer at revobild dot net> // Brussels 2002-09-18 The WebPlace of ReRead - and much to read ==> http://www.revobild.net - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
