Thanks for the answer. I just hope I'm not messing things too much. So if a port may override a package, is the only solution to this generate a package then install it? Now if this happens, what will happen for example (supposing I install everything from packages - or "make package" then pkg_add for that matter) when I install Adobe Acrobat? Are all its dependancies going to be installed as well? I mean, ports doesn't "know" which packages were installed by pkg_add, which is how I suppose those packages are installed. Sorry if I cannot make myself clear enough, but there's still the fog that blinds newbies like me. :) Is it possible to generate packages for all the dependancies? Does "make package" do this for all packages for which a package can be created? I hope I won't need to reinstall them but you know... you never know. :) Thanks again...
