Bullshit. I don't want to type "/usr/local/sbin/nsupdate" or rearrange PATH when I want to use bind9 e.g. I don't want to type "gzip -dc /usr/local/man/man8/named.8.gz | nroff -man | less" to read the real manpage. So I'll remove the base stuff anyway. What do you guys have a problem with the clean deinstallation of a subsystem ? Colin's changes e.g. are non-intrusive, do not harm the overall integrity of the system nor do they spit on BSD history. All that they do is to make life a bit easier for those of us that want to use alternative software for certain subsystems. Well isolated subsystems to stress one point. Not an alternative OS to stress another. My oh my... Cheers Peter -- Campus der Max-Planck-Institute Tübingen Netzwerk- und Systemadministration Tel: +49 7071 601 598 Fax: +49 7071 601 616
