Remove extra packages and streamline 6.2

Sun Jan 21 02:15:37 UTC 2007

Hello list,

After many days of hard work, a lot of caffeine and not nearly enough  
sleep I have a working asterisk PBX for my home.

I have it working on a PIII 800 with 512MB of RAM and two 5GB drives  
in a Raid1 config. While this system should suffice I would like to  
streamline the system a little.

I installed a lot of unnecessary applications during sysisntall. Is  
there a way to figure out what software I don't need. I did a  
pkg_info | wc -l and found that I have 63 apps installed. I know I  
don't need a bunch of these but I am afraid to delete random  
packages. After having a non working phone for two weeks my wife  
would kill me if I messed it all up again.

Any ways I know I don't need xorg any more. I installed it so I could  
use gastman to try and get my Asterisk config working faster.  I  
never wound up using gastman so now I need to remove it and xorg. But  
there are a bunch of fonts and docs and things.

Is it possible to remove any packages I have not used for X amount of  
days?

Is there some way to figure out what apps I don't need installed  
anymore?

Are there any other ways to streamline a system?

I removed everything from rc.conf except the basics. Hostname,  
defualtrouter, ifconfig, keyrate, linux_enable, saver, sshd, asterisk.
