Hi! The man page for portmaster say this: Alternatively you could use portmaster -a -f -D to do an ``in place'' update of your ports. If that process is interrupted for any reason you can use portmaster -a -f -D -R to avoid rebuilding ports already rebuilt on previous runs. However the first method (delete everything and rein- stall) is preferred. I'm wondering why the first method is preferred. -- chs
