Or will that >cause compatibility problems? (new versions not work with 2.2.2?) FTP to ftp.freebsd.org, and cd to /pub/FreeBSD/ports-current. Grab any of the directories in there, or, if you want to update all of your ports in one shot (and you have a fast network connection or are willing to keep your ppp link up for an hour or so), grab "ports-current.tar" (this will instruct the ftp server to automagically tar up the whole directory structure on-the-fly). I've never had problems with the new ports not building with 2.2.2. - --- Donald Burr - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.
