If the sources available on the particular system are old too, see Section 25.6 for detailed help about synchronizing them to a newer version." I know svn from Linux, but I don't know what I should update using svn ;). Yes, the ports, but to get knowledge were the ports are, I have to google ;). This howto is more confusing for a newbie and seems to need more reboots, so I started with > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html but it's not described how to do the following: "Note that setting the BATCH environment variable to yes will answer yes to any prompts during this process, removing the need for manual intervention during the build process." regarding to google it's "env BATCH=yes", I'll test it next time I'll reboot into FreeBSD. Another issue is, that the portupgrade command isn't found. However, pppoe does work, but using vi never is fun for me :). I guess I'll read how to install software, IOW how to install portupgrade and continue with the portupgrade method ASAP, later today, or tomorrow. Regards, Ralf
