Hi Erik:
mtree eh? I had to man that one... and I will obviously have to read
it again - properly. Any chance of asking for a bit of perspective on
the command from you? If not, no big deal I will do a bit some
background reading.
Thanks, Graham/

pkg_delete -a
should get rid of anything not in the base system.
alternately, deleting /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 will
remove it pretty quickly, as well. though one would
have to check for things started in /etc/rc.conf
Variables set in rc.conf refering to nonexistent programs have no
effect. But if you delete /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 you'll mess up the
package database. Clean it by deleting content of /var/db/pkg also.
Recreate the /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 using mtree.
Cheers, Erik
