Guys, Can anybody suggest ascript means to rm -i a whole slew of packages I am collection in /usr/ports/packages/All/? On some of my i686's I have collected as many as three versions of some *tbz files. Other than doing this by-hand on four boxens, I'd have automate. pkgdb -F will ask if the user wants to delete (the earlier) of two packages with an [n]. I'd rather not reinvent the wheel. (I *thought* I was nearly finished updating this machine; suddenty I've got 50 new ones!! ) tia, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix
