If you want to downgrade your whole ports tree, then you can use csup with a supfile that specifies a date or the RELEASE_7_1_0 tag. Have a look at the man page section titled "CHECKOUT MODE" for the different supfile options: http://bit.ly/3tww9G Hope that helps, Greg - -- Greg Larkin http://www.FreeBSD.org/ - The Power To Serve http://www.sourcehosting.net/ - Ready.
