Now during the build process I get the question "what file do you want to patch?", well I've tried all kinds of path names leading to files that seem to be indicated by the patch files but nothing works. 2 questions: 1) Is this an OK way to upgrade a port or am I just getting it way wrong (I can't CVSup BTW as I am behind a firewall ;-( 2) What is the correct answer to the patching question. For future reference how do I work it out? cheers Gavin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
