Hi, The script generated by 'pkg_version -c' includes a command to delete the old port 'pkg_delete -f portname'. Before I hose up my system doing dumb things, how would this work? Does this require that you build a port in it's directory, do a pkg_create, and install it that way? Or can this pkg_delete stuff work even if I just used 'make install'? And lets suppose I run one of these scripts, and I am running KDE or GNOME. Would the session just die or what? Should I go into single-user mode before running any of this stuff, in case things like that need upgrading? If anyone could shed some light on this, that'd be great. -Munish Chopra _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
