It's seems that no one has answered this, so I'll give it a shot. The answer is no... the operating system source tree is completely separate from the ports tree. You can leave your operating system source at 4.5 release and still cvsup your ports tree daily. There is a great tool in ports called "portupgrade"... it is great for installing and upgrading ports... and also notifying you when you have installed ports that are out of date. -- -=Elden=- http://www.moondog.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
