The packages "installed" on your system are listed in "/var/db/pkg". If you see an entry for XFree86 in that directory then just use the pkg_delete command on the name of the associated package. If you do not see an entry for XFree86 in that directory then your only alternative is to remove it by hand. If you don't mind rebuilding all of your ports (which you will probably do anyway) then uninstall all of the X related ports and then=20 "rm -fr /usr/X11R6" to blow away the X directory. --=20 Note: See http://www.members.home.net/graywane/ for PGP information. --xHFwDpU9dbj6ez1V Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjrP5I8ACgkQeHdFaBWUGN2x4ACgrlfhfM/yuBPpuzK9qjkYBGYV aq4AoJXwcxxOxcokjyPTMu4l+oyuZ4hD =kxLx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --xHFwDpU9dbj6ez1V-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
