Hello. My first priority for installing software is by using packages and then the ports collection. If the package dependencies do not have a package, I'll download those dependencies using the ports collection. My questions are:- 1. Is it safe for me to mix the packages and ports systems? 2. I have these 2 entries when I do a # pkg_info png-1.0.10 png-1.0.7 Do I need to delete the older png-1.0.7? Will the deletion cause other applications to fail? 3. After using the Ports Collection to install software, are the software added to the packages system? (i.e. when I do a # pkg_info , will the software be shown in this output)? _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
