When I first installed my freeBSD system I thought,
that I should install all the ports as well. Now I
realize, that it was a dumn idea. So I want to delete
all of them.
My question is: How can I delete all the pragrams that
were aded by sysinstall (pkg_add). So that I won't
damage the system.
My second question is: How can I delete almost all the
programs except some of them. What I would like to
specify.

My biggest problem is that if I say:
$ pkg_delete -r program_name
I can't see what the program actually deletes. And
because I set the "-r" it deletes all the other
programs as well, that are connected to the original
program that I specified.
How can I make it to write out the actual status, what
he is doing?


Thanks,
