You can package up what you already have installed under 8.0: e.g. # pkg_create -R -b emacs-23.2_2,2 which will create package tarballs for emacs and everything it depends on[*] in the current directory. Save them away somewhere, similarly save any relevant config files or other important data not part of the pkg tarballs, do the reinstallaton, then reinstall from your saved pkgs. So long as the system major version number is the same, you can apply this to any re-installation of FreeBSD. Cheers, Matthew [*] Depending on how you compile emacs, this can be quite a large number of packages. - -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matthew@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.14 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkwaHnMACgkQ8Mjk52CukIw8ugCeMZMOktWTTZDqXA4pZdobdkNz LHQAn0V1fhKM7vOy3o7J6sf+V/CTWT3H =ocOv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
