I know.
They are
not specific to a single release. You can just copy over the
distfiles from the older notebook and rebuild your ports.
That's not true. I copied over the /usr/ports/distfiles from my
5.4-REL to the 6.0-REL but the ports-collection which comes with
6.0-REL will use other sources while doing 'make install' in
/usr/ports/x11/kde:
Well, since 6.0 came out much after 5.4, it uses updated ports/
packages (new features, bugfixes), so the versions of some ports
of 6.0 will be higher than of 5.4. What is the point in installing a
new release of FreeBSD and using 'old' ports.
Just install FreeBSD 6.0 and use the packages provided with the RELEASE,
or cvsup your ports tree and do a fresh install of the ports you need.
