actually, just delete the packages now...see what happens. Many packages will be no problem, but those that have to execute binaries to remove will be an issue. If that happens, try using the "-Dscripts" option of pkg_delete, and maybe a "-q" When done, check /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin for straglers, clean those up the best you can, then install packages. Should be no reason to reinstall 5.5. Nick.
