You should really spend some time reading the FreeBSD Handbook on the web, especially the sections about updating your system. Meanwhile, your best bet is probably to install a -stable snapshot. That should get you the updates you need, and bring your system to the point where you will be able to do complete source upgrades again. Take a look at ftp://releng4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/ Good luck, Doug -- I need someone really bad. Are you really bad?
