That only cleans out the /usr/obj directory tree. It doesn't remove any files from anywhere else in the system. > However, I am not sure if you are asking for more than that. He wants to install FreeBSD, edit make.conf and uncomment a bunch of NO_* variables to prevent them from being built/install during a world build, and wants to have a way to remove the existing files from /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, etc. Check the How-To forum at http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/ One of the members there posted a set of scripts that will parse the NO_* variables in make.conf, and remove any and all files associated with those subsystems from an installed system. The end result is the same as building a custom release and reinstalling using that release to only get the bits you want, but without all the hassle of building a custom release. :) -- Freddie Cash, CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.
