CONFIG_PROTECT="-*" emerge -C 

Just don't come complaining about deleted files. That would still leave
generated files around. You can use something like

Nothing Gentoo supported exists for the task you want I think.

2005-11-28 Thread Nick Smith
sorry for the simple question.
how can i completely remove a program and have it get rid of the conf files and any other temp files it leaves around? i want to start from scratch with some programs and dont want to have to manually search and remove those files.

TIA
