I dont know how backward compatible ports are ggenerally, but I have a 4.11 machine that I really want to upgrade the ports on. But I dont know if they will alla ctually compile, and I dont wnat to start doing the process only to find that I cant build one of them possibly. Does anybody know if this is likely to work, or is it simply unsupported ? I;d love to upgrade the machine to 6.1 - but I have no physical access to it, nor am I likely to get any for the forseeable future, and upgrading across the 4/5 boundary isn't something I would be happy doing remotiley in multi-user mode (if it's even possible!) -pcf.
