de-installing kde & Xfree86 from 5.2.1
Hello, I am looking for a fast and secure way to remove all kde* things from my system. We are using this machine as a headless server and do not need this "kind of things at all". This is bothering me when I update de port tree and do my cvsup things. ON THE OTHER HAND we absolutely need the deinstall not to compromise our server !! Libraries used by other program must not be touched by the deinstall process as this is a quite busy mail server. I was thinking about going into each directory in /usr/ports/... and making a "make deinstall" Any other clue will be welcome ! __ «?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§ ¯¯ Grégory Bernard 11, rue de la Tour Directeur 75116 Paris France www.ToDoo.biz __ «?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§ ¯¯ PGP ID --> 0x1BA3C2FD "All parts should go together without forcing.

then why did you install them ? :)

ssh. pkg_delete will check before deinstalling stuff.
pkg_delete `pkg_info |grep -i kde | awk '{print $1}'`

Don't see how mail is going to need kde.

Or, equally possibly, the OP inherited this machine if he moved into another position/new job. Alternatively another admin could have installed the kde stuff. I've seen this stuff happen many times before. Hell I've been bitten by it myself. If you didn't do it yourself it's an unenviable position to be in. Running FreeBSD here (yet again) clearly has advantages. Let's just hope - for the OP's sake that this stuff *was* originally installed from ports since, as you rightly pointed out, it's not a daunting proposition to remove uneeded apps.
