I can`t go here and reinstall bsd, but if impossible to clean, can i reinstall from lan?

Well there's always this:


pkg_info | awk {' print $1 '} | xargs -n1 pkg_delete -f


barring that you could always just


rm -rf


Dont actually run those commands unless you fully understand what they do.

I think what your friends at SE are saying is that perhaps you might want to frame the question a bit more specifically.
What version are you running. What was installed. Package or port. Have you cvsup'd recently. Whats slow. etc
Good Luck.

Look through the output of `ps -auxwww|less` and figure out what you don't need running. Kill it off, then find out where it was started from (look through /etc/rc*) and remove the line(s) that started it. If necessary you can also try to remove the actual programs and files. If installed via port/package, then use the package utils. If installed via configure/make/make install, then run 'make -n install' and dissect that output to determine what went where. If you're also running out of disk space then df and selective use of du will be very helpful.

Doing any of the above is asking for trouble if you are unsure about what you are killing/removing.

True I did learn that command from you in irc a while back :wink:

hm.. i always use
pkg delete $(pkg info|awk '{print $1}')
no need to force it (-f)
another good solution would be
pkg delete /var/db/pkg/*

cu

ps: commands not tested on freebsd.. they work on openbsd ;)

Ummm, seems so over-engineered as compared to just
pkg_delete -a
