Re: ports issue
2010/12/1 paul p...@pcartwright.com I installed OpenBSD I'm trying to follow along this page: http://www.openbsd101.com/updating.html ..and that site states clearly on that page: No affiliation between this site and the OpenBSD project exists or is implied. So if they have poor advice, or outdated (like if it was written for 4.7 for instance) you need to make the website admins there aware of it. -- To our sweethearts and wives.
