According to the handbook, one can do portsnap fetch portsnap update and the update will work with a previously created ports tree; I presume this includes one created during system install. However, when I attempted this, portsnap complained: /usr/ports was not created by portsnap. You must run 'portsnap extract' before running 'portsnap update'. Is there a way to use portsnap against this tree, or must I delete the existing /usr/ports and do an extract first? Thanks, Gary
