Your question has nothing to do with linux_base. And questions like "What is the ports system? How to get a FreeBSD ports tree? How to install an application from ports or via packages?" are described at "The Handbook". Ex.: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html > Yesterday, I run CVSUP and I followed all the steps to upgrade FreeBSD > but...linux_base-fc4 was not at /usr/ports/emulators! Which supfile did you use? If you used the one for ports (not for the system files) you should get /usr/ports tree. Please read the above mentioned document. After reading you will understand that there are options (i.e. installing via port or packages) and how to do them. If you have a more concrete question (with logs, error messages etc.) you are welcome back and we'll be glad to help you. BTW good docs have been always an advantage of *BSD... WBR -- bsam
