Libs is up to 4.2.1_7 or 8 or so. Best bet is to install a minimal system, then cvsup your ports tree, and install the rest from there. Or if you really want to use packages, from the installed system, use pkg_add -r with the correct up to date name of the package. It's still a good idea to cvsup your ports tree and update your index. Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
