Ok, thanks alot for shedding some light here. I am not really into
FreeBSD but long term Linux user, so consider me being a noob here
;-).

Thanks alot, I will put into our wiki like this. Is there actually a
command to upgrade the ports tree, so that I can use the latest ports
with FreeBSD 7.2? What would be the proper instructions to install the
necessary ports, I want to try compiling our software on FreeBSD.

BTW: Whom should I contact to get our project into the ports? I guess
a fully fledged MiniDisc transfer software could be interesting for
alot of FreeBSD users as well ;-).


Thanks alot,

Adrian
