nd TONS of things I would not normally install... Having the ports.tar.gz that corresponds to the snapshot you install is nice because 2 months down the road you can compile/install something that will work on your system even when there is no package available that will work on your system. If you try to cvs up your ports to -current 2 months after installing a snapshot, odds are that something won't compile. OpenBSD works FANTASTIC as long as you keep things consistent. Follow base, -current, or snapshots. Don't try to mix and match and you should have smooth sailing. That's just been my personal experience. Other people way more authoritative may have much wiser advice. Cheers, Steve Williams
