Uninstalling on the Host

This chapter describes how to uninstall the ChorusOS 4.0 product from the host workstation.

Uninstalling with pkgrm

In order to remove part or all of the ChorusOS 4.0 product from the host workstation, you must use the pkgrm(1M) command line utility.

You must know the root password for your system in order to be able to use pkgrm.

1. See the appropriate document in the ChorusOS 4.0 Target Family Documentation Collection for the complete list of packages available for your host/target combination.

2. Check that the packages you want to remove are installed:

   $ pkginfo | egrep "(Sun Embedded Workshop | ChorusOS)"

3. Become root and remove packages using pkgrm:

   $ su Password: root_password # pkgrm list of packages to remove

4. (Optional) Note that even after all packages are removed, a few HTML files such as readme.html and release.html remain in install_dir/4.0. You may remove these HTML files by hand.
