I think it makes much more sense to install the source code you know works so rebuilding your kernel doesn't need distfiles (which might require net access) or potentially forcing a port to be upgraded from something you know works. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
