Take your time though to read through the man pages of each command which comes with portupgrade (pkg_deinstall, pkgdb, ..). It's a quite powerful tool. Maybe you'll have to update the pkg index first which can also be done with the portupgrade stuff. regards -- Andreas "ant" Ntaflos ntaflos.andreas@gmx.net Vienna, AUSTRIA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
