It's not really very complicated at all. Here's your upgrade with binary packages: Su into your root shell, then set an environment variable PACKAGESITE to "ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/Latest/"; (with ftp.freebsd.org replaced with a mirrorsite of your choice if you wish) and add '-P' after the '-O' to the commands in step 2 and step 3. The -P option makes portupgrade attempt to fetch binary packages for the specified ports and only recompile those for which no binary packages can be found at the location specified in PACKAGESITE. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
