[-- Attachment #1 --] Is there a nice tidy way to clear my userland - CLEAN without jeopardizing or reloading the OS? My 4.11 box is still stable - it started life as a webserver (my first learning experience with Unix), then added printserver and was still pretty light in "junk". Recently however, I decided to add a mail server - what with naivety and inexperience and looking at anti-spam and uncle virus etc I think I clogged up my HD with too many extras. I would like to take it back to a barebones OS and reinstall userland without having to re-install OS - can someone suggest safest and least painful options. Thanks, Graham/ BTW - I stayed with 4.11 mainly because it is stable, and it does what it is supposed to do - well, on fairly light hardware, IBM PIII-600 w. 256MB. If it ain't broke...... When the hardware breaks it will probably be time to upgrade the software and check out 6.x's new goodies - or maybe it will be 7.x or 8.x by that time. ..;--) Cheers, G/ -- Kindness can be infectious - try it.
