(snip) Would the base system all be one package? In Linux, everything is part of a package, even the kernel, but something comparable to FreeBSD or NetBSD base system would have many packages. Will it be possible to upgrade base system with portmaster or portupgrade, and would that be better than the current procedure in UPDATING? Would pkg then be able to show a package's required shared libraries including shared libraries from the base system? I was recently stung by pkg not showing required shared libraries from the base system. I just subscribed to freebsd-pkgbase@freebsd.org . Tom
