If I > understand you, you only find the naming confusing, right? Yes, I understand above but I think linux_devtools and linux_base name should be same to avoid the confuse of what's default linux emulator version? Current, the default of Linux emulator is version 7 but the linux_devtools default is 8. So, I think it should be like this: - linux_devtools-6 and linux_base-6 - linux_devtools and linux_base - linux_devtools-8 and linux_base-8 or - linux_devtools-6 and linux_base-6 - linux_devtools-7 and linux_base-7 - linux_devtools and linux_base Cheers, Mezz -- bsdforums.org 's moderator, mezz.
