This is where the -F option of portupgrade becomes *very* useful: - On the system with the fast connection, you update your /usr/ports tree and then run portupgrade: # portupgrade -a -vuN -F - Copy over both /usr/ports and /usr/ports/distfiles Now updates from the disconnected system should be easy as long as you use the same options when building the ports on the two systems (since some of the port options may affect the number and version of distfiles downloaded). Another way to update systems that use similar versions of FreeBSD on the same architecture is to use pkg_create(1) (with the -b option) to save the packages of one system and pkg_add(1) to install them on another. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
