Next, install 'portmanager' from the ports collection. Then run it. portmanager -u This will take care of updating all of your out of date ports and their dependencies. -- Gerard Seibert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
