"man" is your friend. Do a "man portupgrade", and you will have the answers you need. freebsd-newbies is not the appopriate mailing list for questions like these. Sorry, but it is not. We're all a bunch of newbies here, which means that the probability is very high that someone will give you the *wrong* answer. The proper course of action when seeking a technical answer is to first check the Handbook then the FAQ. If nothing in there, then join the freebsd-questions list. Think about it. Would you rather have an answer from a newbie or an expert? David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
