I have read the docs in the handbook and it does not seem to explain how to upgrade your port make macros after downloading the upgrade kit. I have used tar xvzf 32upgrade.tgz from the root directory. It gives me to executable files that I cannot seem to run. Both begin with plus signs: +INSTALL, and +REQUIRE. 1.) Is the root directory the correct place to extract and gunzip this archive. If not, what is. 2.) How do you run the install executables, if +INSTALL and +REQUIRED are the executables. Some extra info that may be useful... I have not downloaded any ports thus far and have only two packages on the system, lynx and less. I installed X 4.1 using tar files. I do not have a /usr/ports directory as of right now. If any more info is needed, or if I missed some docs on how to do this let me know.
