There is only a tag=. version of the ports. If you are cvsup'ing ports-all, you could always rm -rf * from the port directory that your are trying to install and then recvsup. A few people are cd /usr/ports and rm -rf * and recvsup. This is sort of like trying to shoot a mouse with an elephant gun. I tend towards the more elegant solution of only deleting what you have to delete. Kent Kent > > --alissa > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
