FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE-p20 (GENERIC) #0: Tue Jul 21 19:29:33 UTC 2015 Having completely scragged my ports area following various changes to pkg/pkgng/etc, and being unable to "sysinstall" it from CD (not found for some reason) or via FTP (not found on server etc), I found a pristine copy of ports.txz and unpacked it (sigh, yet another compression scheme), after renaming the old directory. Anyway, what do I do now? Assume that many ports have been installed, and that the databases etc are probably a dog's breakfast, per the conflicts that I have posted here earlier. If it helps, I have a list of those ports that were installed, and hopefully the dependencies will be taken care of automagically. Thanks. -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer" Watson never said "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers."
