There is a flag for cups that should disable the commands in the base system. Before installing cups you can add the following line to your /etc/make.conf: CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=YES And to prevent reinstallation during a system upgrade you can add the following line to /etc/src.conf: WITHOUT_LPR=YES bye, Uwe _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
