Public service Unix since 1986. X-Of_Interest: With 22 years of service to the Unix community. well, people, i really screwed up my primary computer (running 7.0) thru have both kde3 and kde4 installed. i tried unsuccessfully to clean out kde4 -- which i tried months ago. but parts got messed up with other version-4 apps like qt4-*. i'm rebuilding "tao" with portmanager -i -p -l which, according to my howto notes, will fix broken dependencies. is theran analogue mix of flags for portupgrade that i can cron (say) every week? or is there a better means of keeping current...? i'm deciding to switch over to ubuntu for my desktop next summer when i'll build a NEW (no mo' cheaping out), GREEN, fast desktop. then i'll swap over my Dell for my server. DNS, mail, web, and FBSD 7.2 [or whatever]. can't beat FBSD for stability. until then i'd like the best means of keeping things current. as auto-magically as possible with FBSD here. tia, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 2.23a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php
