Try using cvsup to update your ports tree - the cvsup system will see you don't have the /usr/ports/MOVED file and automatically fetch it for you. FYI: [9:19:14] root@users /root# grep gd2 /usr/ports/MOVED graphics/gd2|graphics/gd|2003-08-19|Cleanup gd-related ports ie graphics/gd2 was moved to graphics/gd on 19th August :) Must admit I didn't know about the MOVED file, seems to be a recent addition along with a few more ports categories. -- Jez http://www.munk.nu/
