If you already have portupgrade installed and tried the above technique I think you'd get an error at the end of make install saying the port is already installed. You'd need to use either make reinstall or make deinstall followed by make reinstall. I've been using portupgrade so long I forget which. > I am not familiar with make but something tells me I won't be able to upgrade > portupgrade by means of portupgrade ;) I've never had any trouble upgrading portupgrade via portupgrade. Boy, that's almost a tongue twister. :-) If there's a change to portupgrade that would require a special upgrade procedure, it will be noted in /usr/ports/UPDATING. Earlier today I switched my home PC from portupgrade to portupgrade-devel to try out some new features just added to the devel version. All that was involved was: portupgrade -fo ports-mgmt/portupgrade-devel portupgrade Kevin http://www.RawFedDogs.net http://www.WacoAgilityGroup.org Bruceville, TX Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes.
