Yes. By using pkg_add -r you should, in general see things `work' automagically. If this doesn't work for you, you can force pkg_add to fetch from a particular release/version of the packages online by setting PACKAGESITE in the environment of the pkg_add command: # env PACKAGESITE='ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/All' \ pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
