So it would be greatly appreciated, if you could tell me how to uninstall Mac Ports. I thoroughly searched the Mac Ports website and could only find information on downloading Mac ports and I'm asking how to uninstall the complete Mac Ports installation not just a single port. I have a intel imac 10.6.2 system. I apologize for downloading Mac Ports it definitely was a mistake! Please help?  Thank you, Ronnie .G

I had tried to respond to you when you emailed me this question directly, but the email server would not let me:
