This would be the second time i've asked this question, soo.. :) What is the best way to update a port? pkg_delete -f then reinstall? Or force it to overwrite what was already there? The problem with the former is that then when I uninstall/ other/ ports, they complain about dependency files that have since been obliterated. Not sure if the second one has any problems, havn't tried it if memory serves :) For instance, XFree86 4.0.1 just popped up with a fix to the mouse bug that has been irritating me. What is the best procedure I shuold take to update it? Thanks, --Stephen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
