In my exploration of use of having FreeBSD-bsae disabled, I've observed "pkg clean" to remove all the base packages (FreeBSD-*.pkg) from the cache, including the installed ones. So either it accumulates or is empty. With FreeBSD-base enabled, the installed ones stick around. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
