I've just done a cvsup on the following release:
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_4
and one of the packages due for an update is glib, which has gone from
version 2.8.3 to 2.8.4. Given that I've built almost everything on my
system from source using ports, do I need to rebuild things once I've

That's not necessary - I host the DNS, web sites and mail for a dozen
different domains off an IP address for which I

I'm currently trying to get portupgrade onto my new FreeBSD system by
running make install clean from /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade (after
doing a recent cvsup). Everything seems to go along fine, it starts

download for X.org. This i

I've been trying to get FreeBSD installed on my laptop for some time
now, but I've always ended up running into the same problem of the
system hanging at boot. At the moment I'm using the 5.3 release CDs

"Welcome to BSD!" screen fine.
