Oh, yeah, I'd forgotten about that one. So there are three competing technologies - portupgrade, portmaster, and portmanage. And I'm not even sure what any of them offer over the simple 'make install clean' method. Doesn't the make method also take care of dependencies? All of them have a raft of options, most of which make me dizzy:-) I've been using portmanage, but only because the syntax is real easy. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, a FreeBSD weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.
