Or is rm -f /usr/bin/perl* sufficient? After every few installworlds, I'll occasionally do an 'ls -lt' on /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, /usr/lib, and /usr/libexec. Anything that didn't get installed by the installworld will be listed at the bottom and have an obviously different date/time stamp than everything else, and thusly can be removed as no longer part of the system. The only thing that I think defies this recipe is /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1, which is only installed if it is different than the previous one (check the use of '-C' for install in src/libexec/rtld/Makefile). Trust me, you _don't_ want to accidently clean up that file. -Brian -- Brian Dean bsd@FreeBSD.org bsd@bsdhome.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
