Re: ports/packages (sysinstall and dependencies)

I'm not sure I'm understanding your situation properly, but packages really work best if you are willing to live with whatever the default options are. If you want to tune the installation for your environment, the ports system will do so a lot easier than autofetched packages. The situation is under control now. What I was trying to do was get cups-1.1.23 as a package, since it is not available in the ports system. Ports has 1.2.0. I will live with xorg-libraries. :) -- A Great place to have fun and learn about Barbecue - http://bubbabbq.homeunix.net ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
