It is often convenient to use the -x or -X switches with these utilities, or to use a glob, so that you only have to type part of the full PKGNAME, e.g.: pkg_delete xorg-docs\* pkg_delete -x xorg-docs Just make sure that the glob or regex that you use only applies to the packages that you want the utilities to act upon, e.g.: pkg_info -I xorg-docs\* pkg_info -Ix xorg-docs See the manpages of the utilities for details. b. _______________________________________________ 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"
