My understanding, Aryeh, of the ports vs pkg issue is that part of your method is uneccesary. You can use pkg_add fine, but as soon as you start using ports you have to stick with ports. portupgrade -a with a recently updated ports tree will update everything that has an update, and reverting to pkg_add after that could start creating dependency issues. So you don't need to uninstall pkgs before starting to use ports, but you can't go back once you've started using them. James
