From 'The Complete FreeBSD' and the 'FreeBSD Handbook' I notice that 'port' is used in a slightly different manner. 'FreeBSD Handbook' uses it to refer to a software package?. 'The Complete FreeBSD' used it to refer to additinal files needed to adapt a package to build on FreeBSD. So, obviously "install a port" can have 2 meanings. Is a package and port used in the same manner? Can anyone please clarify. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
