* (1) Why is tcl in the base distribution if it is not used? Beats me. You can safely remove everything that matches "/usr/*/*tcl*" and "/usr/share/mann/*/*" though. Use NOTCL for your next make world and you will never see tcl in the base system again. * (2) Why is the ports-current collection ignoring the version of * tcl installed with the base distribution? Because the damn thing is so incompatible with itself, and have a lot of ports depend on each of the versions. If you want a longer version, I can forward you my 1.6MB archive from the most recent round of flames. Satoshi
