Thanks, that has to be it, because on my laptop, I have it as above and it works. The problem is that when I updated src-ports with a similar supfile, I ended up with FreeBSD 7 on the laptop. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

And if the OP did want the ports tree that shipped with 6.2, then RELENG_6_2 would have been the wrong tag anyway (in that case the tag should have been RELEASE_6_2_0.) -- Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You already have them, you installed that ports tree from your CDROM during installation.
