For most people portsnap would be a better way of updating one's ports
tree. Firstly, it's in the base system and thus doesn't require any
third party software. Secondly, most newbies find it easier to use.

Hmm porstnap seemed to have worked ok. I installed the portupgrade suite
through pkg_add.
Somethings still not happy. Because when took a stab at installing:
nvidia-driver
nvidia-glx
xorg and compat 5 as a dependency for nvidia-driver/nvidia-glx
nvidia can't find something and I don't know what because the first part of
the message scrolls of the screen- (remember I'm not in xorg yet)
-What the newbie here has done so far to help itself-
Just as a guess-reinstalled linux_base because I remembered reading on a Just
Some Guys 'Blog abut the same problem
thinking it couldn't hurt anything since I hadn't installed hardly much of
anything-
cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base.
make deinstall
make clean
make install
Ran that for 15 minuts-it ran into some sort of
"error 1!" (repeated 5 times)
Undaunted-re- did make etc.
Somethng about rpm something not found
(cd'd into linux_bas-fc4)
ran make install clean-but it says it can't find the ftp servers-
Any guesses what I'm doing wrong?
