I am going to do this now. Get the ports tree, using portsnap fetch and portsnap extract and then portsnap update Then, when I install xorg, would that be the 7.3 version? or would it still be 6.9, and I would have to update it using the guideliness given in UPDATING? Is it not possible to install xorg-7.3 right from the start? avoiding this manual updating? If this question doesn make sense, then I obiviously dont understand something about port/software installation in freebsd :) On 24/11/2007, Bob Richards wrote: > On Sat, 24 Nov 2007 07:09:20 +0000 > "Frank Shute" wrote: > > > On Sat, Nov 24, 2007 at 01:53:48AM +0000, Siraj Shaikh wrote: > > > > > The process described there should work for updating from 6.9 to 7.3 > > > > It works just fine.
