Quoting Subhro <subhro.kar@gmail.com>:

> Why do you want to NOT reinstall the OS?

Loads of data, loads of accounts / passwords, nothing wrong with the 'base' part
of the OS... There's no need to really.

My problems are generated from to many ports / inconsistencies in the ports, and
so forth.  So that's really the only part of the OS that actually needs some
serious work.

I also can't re-install the Base OS remotely...   Yes, I can make world to
upgrade it (which has already been done), but not reinstall it in the sense of
format / repartition / etc...
