No hidden question. I really did want to start from scratch and build my entire system a new. Probably seems weird but that's what I wanted to do. I had previously gone sort of willy-nilly through the ports and installed (eg tried) anything and everything that looked even sort of interesting and I wanted to remove all of those in one fell sweep. I am looking forward to building every single part of my system from source. What can I say for myself? I've got a lot of fre time on my hands ;-) Thanks again for all your help everyone. I've learned a lot form following this thread that I started. I really appreciate all of the time, effort and expertise that you all have shared with me.
