The other day I wanted to get gnome gedit and 2 other packages via sysinstall/ftp.freebsd.org and besides the ones I needed I also got a whole bunch of libraries and so as dependences which I must have already installed originally. Although the directory was 3.3 these packages must be newer then the ones I installed from the cd which is fine. The questions I have are: a) if all packages in 3.3 directory are "current" including the kernel, and b) are the original libraries and stuff *replaced* by the new ones or I end up with 2 versions of the same. Also is there support for usb keyboard and mouse in 3.3 kernel? Regards, Andu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
