I know I can run "portsnap extract sysutils/portupgrade" ...or something to that effect....but that will not "register" say for a "portsnap update" after a new "portsnap fetch". This is what I will get for an error if I try that: [root@gv:/usr/ports]$ portsnap update /usr/ports was not created by portsnap. You must run 'portsnap extract' before running 'portsnap update'. ...is there any way I can only maintain a small portion of the ports tree while still using portsnap (or should I not bother and just use cvsup)? I'd like to keep the parts of the ports collection around that I use, but not all of it...as this box has space issues. Thanks, Frank
