Upgrading the base system usually doesn't require you to upgrade your applications as well. The freebsd-update binary updating program takes care of everything. > How do I install "Ports"? The ports collection can be installed via sysinstall. Choose configure - distributions - ports. The /usr/ports subtree will then be installed. > How do I reinstall Samba without getting a error -1 in sysinstall? You can first use pkg_delete to delete it, e. g. # pkg_delete -x samba and then re-install it from packages, e. g. # pkg_add -r samba See "man pkg_add" and "man pkg_delete" to make sure you're understanding that you're doing the right thing. I'm not sure if you need to explicitely add a version number for samba as I am not using it. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
