(The glob pattern was expected to match a lot of port-packages, more than shows in a window in the context.) I really wish that the likes of: # pkg delete -r FreeBSD-ports -g . . . was supported in order to avoid mistakes being much bigger than they need to be. Also of note: it started deleting the system before deleting any port-packages, even though the port-apcagkes depend on the system. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.comhelp
