forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=6466 "The application themselves are still installed and will keep functioning, you just removed the records of their installation. When you later install newer versions, you may have to use a force flag to overwrite files (the port thinks it is uninstalled after all). The new port installations will get recorded in /var/db/pkg again.' jb _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
