Is it OK to use > packages from 2.2.5 on the 2.2.7 installation that I have? i haven't tried that with 2.2.7, but I used some 2.2.2 packages on my 2.2.5 system when that's what I was using. It worked OK. There are compatibility libraries that you can install, but I'm not sure you need them unless you're running 2.1.x binaries on a 2.2.x system. Not exactly sure how that works... At any rate, yes, there's a way to do it without much trouble. > > -- > Anand > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Jeffrey Dunitz | Current Job: | orpheus@avalon.net BOFH Emeritus, Avalon Networks | Network Engineer | Eagan, MN, USA http://www.avalon.net/~orpheus | EXi Corporation | 651-523-6992 (work) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
