'pkg_delete port' vs 'cd /usr/ports/port;make deinstall' There is no such thing as /usr/ports/port, unless you meant /usr/ports/category/port which i assume for this reply. What's the difference between these? One is make deinstall will remove the port w/o care to any dependencies. Pkg_delete will remove a dependency-port only if you specify via the -f (force) flag. Both will notify you about any dependencies in any case. Personally, i use make deinstall only when the installed port version is same as in /usr/ports/category/port AND happened to be in that directory. Otherwise, i just use pkg_de(install|delete). - Parv -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can do a wild card delete using something like pkg_delete 'port*' and not have to use the full version number. You can do this in fewer steps than learning the path to the port and cd'ing in. Once you have used either method, I don't think you can tell how you did it :).
