Hi,

I am trying to install VMWare3 on FreeBSD 6.1 from the ports.

During intall I get this error:

       They install files into the same place.
       Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).

I do understand the conflict, but I am not sure what the best way to
handle this is. Trying to remove linux_base, gives a lot of work since a
lot of other stuff depends upon that.

Any recommendations?

Another question, regarding speed and ease of configuration, which is
recommended: VMWare vs. Qemu?

Best and kind regards,
Rico

Maybe this can help from /usr/ports/UPDATING :

  AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  We now use Fedora Core 4 as the linux base port, and the corresponding
  xorg libs for the linux X11 libs port.

  To upgrade you have to run
        portupgrade -f -o emulators/linux_base-fc4 linux_base\*
        portupgrade -f -o x11/linux-xorg-libs linux-XFree86-libs
