The time is about the same (in my experiance) AND (most importantly) portmanager seems to handle upgrading better then portupgrade does. IE: Thunderbird, Gnome, Firefox. Another nifty thing is that portmanager creates a package and dumps it in /usr/ports/mail/thunderbird (for example) and at least for me, I can pkg_add that to my laptop since they both run 5.3 -- Best regards, Chris Misery no longer loves company nowdays it insists on it. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
