The hard part here is generating the 'obsolete' lists. : : I posted one approach to this today... touch a file right before you : start installworld, then consider anything not newer than that file a : candidate for disposal.

That approach is crap, because installworld doesn't touch all files. : Also, I highly recommend NOT deleting the files, but moving them : somewhere. This makes it much easier to recover if you delete something : you shouldn't have. I don't care the method of removal. I care more about the list. If you want to mv them them instead of rm, it isn't a big deal to change that detail. WarnerReceived on Mon Sep 01 2003 - 07:23:12 UTC
