Sorry for typo, but actually I only appended to the existing supfile.

Do you have compat7x installed?
No I don't.
If you already updated to OS 8.0,
you should update your ports tree, too, and
use the current ports.
I always csup the SELECTED port tree but not all.
Just installing isn't enough, there's some configuration

Thanks for your suggestion, but it does not seem likely.
All operating systems can always distinguish the system and packages.

For GUI applications, I mostly use Windows.
Now I want to use only FBSD for web browsing and don't want to use Windows.

booting them.
Then I installed
