If you installed a program that you no longer need, you can do a emerge -C <package name> and it will remove it for you. The -C is the same as --clean by the way. That said, be very careful with that. If you remove some things it can break portage, gcc or some other program that the system uses. I would strongly recommend you do a equery depends <package name> to make sure you do not remove something that will break things. Hope that helps and keeps you from hurting at the same time. It's easy done. Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
