Were we discussing the OS? I thought we were discussing ports in general and firefox in particular. Ports have seperate security issues; they are not part of the OS, hence the security message displayed after any port is installed. Constant *vigilance* is neccesary - whether or not you update depends on the situation and the reason. In my earlier posts I was just trying to indicate how easy this would be with portupgrade. Now I find that there's something even easier called porteasy, and you apparently don't need the entire ports tree to use it. this system is great :) so many different ways of accomplishing the same goal. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
