hi, can anyone briefly explain what is the general procedure here? i am trying to update a few packages which inevitably provoke a firefox2 install, which i don't want (have ff3). checked google and porter's handbook, then tried marking ff2 as IGNORE -- which i didn't really understand how but added IGNORE= reason etc etc to the makefile at the very top after the comments. seems like it worked, but what i want to update fails because of that. i am installing portupgrade now to try with k or K (whichever means comtinue anyway) but is this a good idea or an easier way? also, i am not sure if questions like this go here or still go in ports mailing list ? thanks in advance
