I wondered about the same thing some time ago. I was told by one of the gurus to try packages-6-stable, which would most likely work with 6.1-RELEASE. So I tried to fetch the latest Firefox in this way: pkg_add [no line break] ftp://ftp.<mirror>.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/www/firefox-1.5.0.7,1.tbz Seems to work fine. However, I tried to do the same thing with Thunderbird (mail/thunderbird-1.5.0.7.tbz), and then I got many warnings about libraries not being up to date. Could I have done it differently to get dependencies updated as well? Just a few extra words in section 4.4.1 the handbook could probably have cleared this up. -- Tore _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
