I have limited disk space, and more limited $$$, so to force my system to be "lean and clean", about every 2-3 months I do the following: 1) Make world, Make and install new kernel, rebuild all ports that I use. 2) Nuke all older versions of all shared libraries. 3) Go on a seek-and-destroy mission, looking for old crap on the disk nuke. I have a "nuke on sight" policy for shared libraries that go out of date (minor version). If they go out of date (major version change) then I move them to .../lib/compat. This dir gets blasted at the next step 1). M -- Mark Murray PGP key fingerprint = 80 36 6E 40 83 D6 8A 36 This .sig is umop ap!sdn. BC 06 EA 0E 7A F2 CE CE
