[gentoo-user] python2.4 directory

2009-03-05 Thread Dirk Uys
Hi I noticed that I still had python-2.4 on my system. Did a quick run of python-updater, to make sure nothing is using python-2.4 anymore and then unmerged python2.4. Should I manually remove /usr/lib64/python2.4, or is there a way to make portage do it? Regards Dirk

If you want to make backups, don't do it on a cdrom. Try rsync, it's a great backup tool. Here's a guide to dip your feet in: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 8:48 AM, Hung Dang wrote: > Nikos Chantziaras wrote: > >> Hung Dang wrote: >> >>> James Wall wr
