"make distclean" in a port's directory will do a "make clean" and also remove the distfiles from /usr/ports/distfiles. More generally, "make distclean" in /usr/ports will do that for all of the ports. However, it is slow. "make" has to parse a lot of Makefiles to do the work. So if you just want to nuke everything in /usr/ports/distfiles, then "rm" is probably a more efficient solution. -- Matthew Hunt <mph@pobox.com> * UNIX is a lever for the intellect. -J.R.
