I am still not sure that I understand this entire ports concept. I,
like others I would assume, have found the time that 'portsdb -Uu'
takes to run to completion unacceptable. Would I be correct in assuming
that I could therefore use the following combination of commands and
attain the same results?

1)	cvsup ports-supfile
2)	make fetchindex
3)	pkgdb -Fu
4)	portupgrade -aDDPRruv

I am not clear about this. I have always run the 'portsdb -Uu' command
after the 'pkgdb -Fu' program.

Thanks!
