Well, I thought I did. Why don't you explain to me what *you* think they are for, and we'll see if we agree. ;-) To re-cap, my understanding comes directly from the ports web page, where it says: "Please install one of the following depending on the release you are running. [...] That should enable you to use all the ports listed here." I did exactly that: I determined I was running 3.2-RELEASE, so I installed the "3.2 to 3-stable upgrade kit" and feeling very "enabled", attempted to use one of the ports listed there, and encountered the aforementioned problem. The above seems like pretty straight-forward English, but perhaps there is a subtlety there about which you can enlighten me. -- Robert Withrow -- (+1 978 288 8256) BWithrow@BayNetworks.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
