I have found CleanSlate (a wonderful idea) to be ineffective in dealing with large packages. I spend most of my time with a megabyte of packages and several hundred additional names in the kernel. CleanSlate was unable to remove them in a reasonable length of time; I never observed it to terminate. Richard Mercer
