I've run libchk to get a list of unreferenced libraries, but I=20 wanted to ask before I throw myself to the mercy of my backup tape: is=20 there any reason not to delete all of those old libraries? On the same subject, I've periodically gone through {usr,}/{s,}bin after an= =20 installworld and deleted all commands more than a month old or so, the=20 logic being that any commands not updated by world are remnants that can be= =20 purged. Is that a reasonable assumption? =2D-=20 Kirk Strauser --nextPart26784654.m90n0eppLp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQBBaqDl5sRg+Y0CpvERAjnqAKCA3RomrO1ErSDbpP8ZawthoXCviwCfQd+V Nz8rGNs0QqLwN2KdxoooQSY= =S0o3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart26784654.m90n0eppLp--
