Well, you can see all the packages installed on your system by: % pkg info If you want to see the files installed by one package: % pkg info -l pkgname You can see all the packages you specifically requested to install -- ie. rather than packages that were automatically installed to fulfil dependencies by: % pkg query -e '%a=3D=3D0' %n-%v If you want to see all the packages you ever installed, but may have subsequently deleted, or see what happened each time you ran 'pkg update' -- unfortunately, pkg(8) does not keep logs in that degree of detail. You'ld have to look at the system logs for that, but unless you've made special arrangements to keep older logs around, you'ld only have a few weeks worth of those available. > I'm planning on upgrading my OS to a new version at some point as I'm > using an older version right now, and I already purchased 10.3 on DVD, > and whenever I install FreeBSD, I end up spending DAYS on the Web Site > looking on the Ports Collection to see what I want to install, and so > every time I get my machine how I want it, if I go to do a fresh > install which is what I normally enjoy doing, most of the time, but I'd= > like to be able to have that list so I could just look at it and then > install whatever I want. If you're upgrading from 10.1-RELEASE to 10.3-RELEASE you *don't* need to reinstall all your ports. You can just upgrade the OS in-place -- see freebsd-update(8) and update your ports via 'pkg upgrade'. You only need to reinstall ports on a major version update, eg. 10.3-RELEASE to 11.0-RELEASE. Matthew PS. The freebsd-questions@freebsd.org would make a better venue for asking questions at this level. freebsd-pkg@ is more about developing pkg itself. --Q6JxKjGDr8U0JDGHO1bihjcDGKiB3a493-- --NSb8mqdts6hA5olqJkW35pU6Xh08HAOwA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJYCGW9XxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQ2NTNBNjhCOTEzQTRFNkNGM0UxRTEzMjZC QjIzQUY1MThFMUE0MDEzAAoJELsjr1GOGkATqf4P/2NxSgZhUCImC1U8EeVO39Ho PtBqyxT4m7X6+x9ffGlgfp04Ebl1VjsBY2P2hpAm422eTwDmMBwG2YGSKJ0AzJKv SIAU2YHrwFgFdFhiRTbfl+8Bn0UAy2XyMmErNr4z4OCRB8g84hYVAL1Iq+jXqxpS eTID3vLbqEvlU7L1lPGSpBg7D98DTofoVG0SnkdG9MxgGOC/OVWG+SBKo6ESwyzm 5qgqkHQsgUf3yBHphYpLD27934Gc+29m7eK3D9IRQ0fRd+9gJ+ZTdzoevHxVaC9p T7eNm8jX1mGUOy/Z7KPFzjpYE5O66ujptVDve2SLo+m9D1eTTluCZ/n2vP7s4y3l uQTh3kL41xKkxu9V85X3cUtJoS7VO//SRLxmKUfucO8EeBvVLHSi8C1PDJ4wFSj5 znVgf1vLnEV/0GpEnw3d290+GTFAeQBdB10fcASEQrmqpIpueVRiOVsTf8bdrAsY 1PRvmmAt0Bn4JifSOnadLLYw8Gts0sNfDZ4JQgOXU2ulMuENB0O1h5ZztUUA+kQb Wz9KdFMvo/cH3sXoA5weWwjbNDtNEjx6oERrIcD6GN5jnto4nm0Clujt/5qsmT0h DTg9iHNIpmu8kSgQf3HgB768X+w5uv7wdxRus7z9palo5KHGmtPt6LBpSU3ZNhay Z3c2lfcOX5qkjhib9AT0 =INN4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --NSb8mqdts6hA5olqJkW35pU6Xh08HAOwA--
