Wow! 4 replies already!! I am really impressed by the Free BSD community :). THis never happens on some of the other lists I am on. Thank you Andy, Robert, Daniel and Michael for your advise. The thing that threw me was that I had checked the ports web site for the Ruby version BEFORE I installed FreeBSD which was just a couple of days ago. So I was wondering why I got Ruby 1.8.2 in my ports tree since I installed using the main site as my ftp source?! I have read the using ports in the hand book but certainly I need to read it more and get familiar with all the commands for using ports. Thank you again. -bakki On 5/2/06, Daniel Bye <freebsd-questions@slightlystrange.org> wrote: > You should start by reading > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.htm= l > > I would suggest that probably the easiest method for updating your ports > tree is the Portsnap approach.
