And here for some explanation and arguments: http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update/binup.html You have to do the 1st update from a RELEASE. If you make custom kernels or 'make world', this may not be for you. Only updates for the GENERIC kernel are supported (but you could use kernel modules for additional functionality and still use freebsd-update). --- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Richard Zoontjens Radécom B.V. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Upgrading ports/pkgs is handled separately to dealing with the base system. However a 'pkg' is just the compiled form of a 'port' and the two are essentially interchangeable. You can use the usual portupgrade(1) tools to upgrade compiled packages -- see the entry for the '-P' flag in portupgrade(1).

Yes but I do not want to upgrade the base system but instead the non-base-system binaries that came along on 4 CDS (and the have not been on the first or the second - the Live-System - CD). For example I have installed a binary from the 6th CD called FreeBSD_for_newbies_1.0. Now I want to upgrade to a new version FreeBSD_for_newbies_2.0 withou doing pkg_delete and pkg_add. Isn't there a possibility like pkg_update that can do an automatic upgrade of binary files?

Ah thanx that was the documentation I have searched env PKG_PATH=/mnt/cdrom/package/ALL portupgrade -anPP Thanx for this. This should be documented in the handbook but as far as I can see there is nothing mentioned how to upgrade the binaries. So thanx to all who have answered.
