I don't know about the reboot, but you should always use the head "." tag for ports (note that's a period without the quotes). Ports don't follow releases the way the system does and using anything other than the head tag will just delete your entire ports tree. The port itself will determine the proper configs for your system. My /etc/cvsupfile-ports is as follows: *default host=cvsup6.freebsd.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress ports-all tag=. <-------- Use the head tag. Change the default host to whatever is closest to you. Beech -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beech Rintoul - Sys.
