Message-ID: <20021004162004.GD65344@iib.unsam.edu.ar> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4i X-PGP-Key: http://genoma.unsam.edu.ar/~fernan/pubkey.asc Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have recently finished a clean installation of FreeBSD-4.6.2. Since I run linux binaries I chose to install the linux-compatibility packages from the install media. This currently is linux_base-6, if I read it right. Now many ports have their dependencies listed as linux_base-7.1 or something similar. This means that my linux-compatibility tree got updated when I installed some of this ports? or should I do this manually by going to /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base and doing a 'make install'? Now, what are the pros and cons of -7.1 and -6? Suggestions?
