Just take it easy :-) Most ports try to behave, so unless you're very short of disk space, just let them be there. Once in a while, you can install a tool that deals with "leafs" (there are a few in ports collection). Leafs are ports that are not needed by anything, so you can safely delete them. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
