Section 4.5.1 also describes how to update the ports collection, but only for the CVSup and Portsnap methods. Q1: How do I update the ports collection after using sysinstall to obtain it? Q2: Is this explained in the handbook? If so, where? Thank you, Chris PS: I uses sysinstall to obtain the ports collection from the CD during OS install
