Everything you installed via ports or pkg_add can be deinstalled and deleted by # pkg_delete -rf * If you like, you may also remove your complete ports directory and cvsup to the latest version. If not you can #cd /usr/ports # make clean (will take some hours) Good luck :-) Uli. > > Thank you all in advance. > > -- Eugene > > P/S - corry for x-posting, I dont know where this is more correct to send= =2E.. > ____________________________________________________________ > =EE=CF=D7=CF=C5 =CE=C1 =EE=E7=F3: > http://ngs.ru/icq - Web =D7=C5=D2=D3=C9=D1 ICQ. > http://ngs.ru/chat - =E5=DD=A3 =CF=C4=C9=CE =DE=C1=D4. > ____________________________________________________________ > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message > *-----------------------------------* * Peter Ulrich Kruppa * * - Wuppertal - * * Germany * *-----------------------------------* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
