Then cd /usr/ports, and do "make mwm->udpate". mwm-> ......... I finally have to ask this. As one who was completely happy with package management using /usr/ports, I see I'm going to have to switch over to the cvs*. Is this covered well in the handbook or is there any other sources of docs ? I know change is good but I still have drill bits that are 20 years old and they work great, just keep them sharpened. ;> -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ "UNIX, A Way Of Life." _\_v http://forwardslashunix.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
