Rus,
Please take a look at /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade, as it is the appropriate tool for these sort of upgrades. Circumstantial evidence over the years has led me to believe that most ports will actually successfully and without issue overwrite their previous iterations that were also installed via the ports tree (lynx, wget, things like that). ----- John Kozubik - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.kozubik.com On Mon, 7 Oct 2002, Rus Foster wrote: > Hi All, > I've got a general question.
