#3 Re: Purging configuration files Posted by fsateler (201.214.xx.xx) on Mon 21 Nov 2005 at 05:34 Well, it is useful to uninstall and reinstall... although why do you usually reinstall software? I mostly reinstall software after purging every configuration file (or copying somewhere just in case), just to make sure it starts in a clean state. However for those specific cases where I don't want to purge files, I could choose not to purge the application via a command line option, and keep the default as purge. -------- Felipe Sateler
