I have it working on a PIII 800 with 512MB of RAM and two 5GB drives in a Raid1 config. While this system should suffice I would like to streamline the system a little. I installed a lot of unnecessary applications during sysisntall. Is there a way to figure out what software I don't need. I did a pkg_info | wc -l and found that I have 63 apps installed. I know I don't need a bunch of these but I am afraid to delete random packages. After having a non working phone for two weeks my wife would kill me if I messed it all up again. Any ways I know I don't need xorg any more. I installed it so I could use gastman to try and get my Asterisk config working faster. I never wound up using gastman so now I need to remove it and xorg. But there are a bunch of fonts and docs and things. Is it possible to remove any packages I have not used for X amount of days? Is there some way to figure out what apps I don't need installed anymore? Are there any other ways to streamline a system? I removed everything from rc.conf except the basics. Hostname, defualtrouter, ifconfig, keyrate, linux_enable, saver, sshd, asterisk. Here is what I have installed. asterisk-1.2.13_3 An Open Source PBX and telephony toolkit asterisk-addons-1.2.3_1 Additional modules for the Asterisk Open Source PBX atk-1.12.4 A GNOME accessibility toolkit (ATK) autoconf-2.59_2 Automatically configure source code on many Un*x platforms bison-1.75_2,1 A parser generator from FSF, (mostly) compatible with Yacc bitstream-vera-1.10_2 Bitstream Vera TrueType font collection cairo-1.2.6_1 Vector graphics library with cross-device output support curl-7.16.0_1 Non-interactive tool to get files from FTP, GOPHER, HTTP(S) expat-2.0.0_1 XML 1.0 parser written in C fontconfig-2.3.2_6,1 An XML-based font configuration API for X Windows freetype2-2.2.1_1 A free and portable TrueType font rendering engine gastman-1.0.r1_1 Graphical Manager interface for Asterisk gettext-0.14.5_2 GNU gettext package glib-2.12.9 Some useful routines of C programming (current stable versi gmake-3.81_1 GNU version of 'make' utility gtk-2.10.8_1 Gimp Toolkit for X11 GUI (current stable version) help2man-1.36.4_1 Automatically generating simple manual pages from program o hicolor-icon-theme-0.9_2 A high-color icon theme shell from the FreeDesktop project imake-6.9.0 Imake and other utilities from X.Org intltool-0.35.4 Tools to internationalize various kinds of data files jpeg-6b_4 IJG's jpeg compression utilities libXft-2.1.7_1 A client-sided font API for X applications libdrm-2.0.2 Userspace interface to kernel Direct Rendering Module servi libiconv-1.9.2_2 A character set conversion library libogg-1.1.3,3 Ogg bitstream library libpri-1.2.3 A C implementation of the Primary Rate ISDN specification libslang-1.4.9 Routines for rapid alpha-numeric terminal applications deve libtool-1.5.22_2 Generic shared library support script libxml2-2.6.27 XML parser library for GNOME linux_base-fc-4_9 Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (for i386/amd64) m4-1.4.8_1 GNU m4 mpg123-0.59r_17 Command-line player for mpeg layer 1, 2 and 3 audio mysql-client-5.0.27 Multithreaded SQL database (client) newt-0.51.0_3 Not Erik's Windowing Toolkit: console I/O handling library openh323-1.18.0_2 A H323 Video Conferencing library openldap-client-2.3.33 Open source LDAP client implementation p5-XML-Parser-2.34_2 Perl extension interface to James Clark's XML parser, expat p5-gettext-1.05_1 Message handling functions pango-1.14.9 An open-source framework for the layout and rendering of i1 perl-5.8.8 Practical Extraction and Report Language pkg-config-0.21 A utility to retrieve information about installed libraries png-1.2.12_1 Library for manipulating PNG images popt-1.7_2 A getopt(3) like library with a number of enhancements, fro pwlib-1.10.2,1 A cross platform C++ library, used by OpenH323 shared-mime-info-0.19 A MIME type database from the FreeDesktop project spandsp-0.0.2.p26 Fax DSP library for Asterisk speex-1.0.5_1,1 An open-source patent-free voice codec tiff-3.8.2_1 Tools and library routines for working with TIFF images unixODBC-2.2.12_1 ODBC library suite for Unix xorg-fonts-100dpi-6.9.0_1 X.Org 100dpi bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-75dpi-6.9.0_1 X.Org 75dpi bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-cyrillic-6.9.0_1 X.Org Cyrillic bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-encodings-6.9.0_1 X.Org font encoding files xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps-6.9.0_1 X.Org miscellaneous bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-truetype-6.9.0 X.Org TrueType fonts xorg-fonts-type1-6.9.0 X.Org Type1 fonts xorg-fontserver-6.9.0_1 X font server from X.Org xorg-nestserver-6.9.0_1 Nesting X server from X.Org xorg-printserver-6.9.0_2 X Print server from X.Org xorg-server-6.9.0_5 X.Org X server and related programs xorg-vfbserver-6.9.0_2 X virtual framebuffer server from X.Org xterm-220 Terminal emulator for the X Window System zaptel-1.0_1 A FreeBSD Driver for FXO, FXS, BRI and PRI Telephony Cards Sincerely, Joshua Lewis joshua.lewis@familyfunzone.net
