See the ports(7) manpage. 'make deinstall' effectively 'uninstalls' the application and all associated files and dirs, but only if those files/dirs haven't changed since the application was first installed. To make sure you clean out the port's working directory (where the port is built etc), as well as uninstalling the application - add the 'clean' target to the make command: make clean deinstall -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ http://jez.hancock-family.com/ - Another FreeBSD Diary http://ipfwstats.sf.net/ - ipfw peruser traffic logging _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
