> 1) Can I use the 3.2 packages with FreeBSD 4.0 or am I doing a stupid thing? Kinda. We provide different versions at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/ because of there are some library difference between 3.x and 4.0. Not to mention anything that grubs around in the kernel. > 2) In case I decide downloading the 4.0-current packages, how can I modify > the INDEX file given I'd have to split the packages on a couple of CDs? No > Rockridge extensions, please: I don't know how to use it. AFAIK, you will need Rockridge extensions if you want any of the automatic dependencies loading to work. It isn't that hard. Just use the "-r" switch to ``mkisofs'' when you burn the image. > BTW, the dependencies among packages are quite difficult to be guessed > off-line :-) The INDEX files tells the dependencies. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
