In FreeBSD you never reinstall anything, you fix it :) Check /tmp and /var/tmp for files that look like X locks or struff like that. If you want to be shure boot single user (not really necessary) and do: $ cd /tmp $ rm -rf * $ rm -rf .[A-Za-z]* DO NOT rm -rf .* as this includes . and .. and will certainly thrash your filesytem. regards, -Oscar -- For PGP Public Key: finger obonilla@fisicc-ufm.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
