Assuming that it was installed to standard locations: To delete all of the per-user information, to into the home directory for each user and type: rm -rf .xastir The current locations for installing the executables and associated files are: /usr/local/bin (xastir/xastir_udp_client/callpass) /usr/local/man/man1/xastir.1 /usr/local/lib/xastir/* /usr/local/share/xastir/* The maps will be in /usr/local/share/xastir/maps. You might also have put things in the "Counties", "fcc", "GNIS", and "sounds" directories that you wish to keep. So... Start deleting things in the above directories listed, but be careful in the /usr/local/share/xastir/ area. That said, there's usually no reason to delete anything. Newer Xastir installs should replace important files. I never feel the need to delete before an install, and I'm fairly sure I do more installs than anyone else on the planet. -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
