Sure. pkg_add(1) has a '-r' option for fetching remotely, and portupgrade(1) has a '-P' option to specify using packages (it will fetch from FreeBSD servers if possible).
To expand on Lowell's answer, using portupgrade's -P option can avoid a lengthy compile. If no suitable package is available for download, portupgrade -P will fall back to compiling the port from sourcecode. To avoid this, use -PP. Very handy when dealing with big packages like koffice. :-) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
