I usually use the 'rm -rf /dir /dir2' to do the job like this. # rm -rf /usr/local/* /usr/X11R6/* /compat/linux/* /var/db/pkg/* /var/db/ports/* Remove /compat/linux if you don't use any of linux stuff. It's what great about BSD is hier(7) by keep base system and ports seperate. Cheers, Mezz -- mezz7@cox.net - mezz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD GNOME Team http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/ - gnome@FreeBSD.orghelp
