Some are packages/ports and some are just installations from source. Now, I can uninstall ports and packages fairly easily and then install the latest versions of the ports fairly easily. But what if I had, let's say Sendmail 1.0, and it was installed from the source. How do I upgrade it to the latest version? Do I just install over top of it, or do I uninstall the old version first, or is there an upgrade command...? - Jonathan --- What goes up, must come down. Ask any system administrator.
