I'm still learning about the ports system and how to find the info I need. I don't have a /usr/ports/MOVED on my system. Am I supposed to be looking on the FBSD web site somewhere? I did find the cvsweb stuff but do not understand what I'm looking at. I see directories like "files", "scripts", and "attic". The "Last log entry" just says "Main modification graphics/gd (based on 1.8.4)..." which I don't know how to interpret. Is there something I can read to learn about this? Thanks for helping. Drew
