Howdy, I've been getting some help with some online (irc) friends with keeping my bsd system (that another friend set up for me) running.... and am trying to do things, like upgrade it slowly but surely :-) Today I tried to compile perl, and couldn't... so friend suggested doing the following; fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-2.2-stable/Latest/227u pgrade.tgz pkg_add 227upgrade.tgz I've done this, and now /usr/ports/perl5 is actually fetching the file.... My question however is, that fetching this 227upgrade... what has that done to my system, am I now running 2.2.7 ? - (previously system was 2.2.6) Do I download the kernel source, and recompile a kernel to take advantage of any new features/bug fixes of 2.2.7 ? basically, I'm wondering ... what have I done? regards james (curses friends that go idle for long periods after telling you something :P~) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
