I have a server that I've upgraded over the last year
from FreeBSD 4.1 Release to 4.5 Stable.  I printed the
output from pkg_info and found that I don't use most
of the applications.  I would like to pkg_delete all
of the packages and reinstall only the ones I'm really
using from the updated ports.

If I pkg_delete them all, I should be left with a
functional core system....right?  Or are certain
packages a part of the base system?

Thanks,

Andrew Gould
