all, i run a small computer, for various reasons. i was wondering if it was possible to cut out teh chunks of teh "/usr/ports/" tree, it took some three hours to install. this machine is a i386dx33 with 8 mb dram and an esdi hard drive (345 mb). i've trageted teh language specific ports to go first, followed by most of teh x11 related stuff with a sever culling of games and more than a carefull look at whats left. is thier a special technique i would need to use or would just rm'ing teh relevent directories be sufficient (i realise i'd have to check on packages dependancies first --- is thier an easy way to do that, in freebsd v2.2-stable ?). with regards and much thanks jonathan ps, i'm not subscribed to -questions, a cc: in your responce would be apreciated. -- ============================================================== Jonathan Michaels http://www.caamora.com.au PO Box 144, Rosebery, NSW 1445 suffering construction anxiety ==========================================<jlm@caamora.com.au> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
