I need to set up a system that can only use packages. I've always used ports, so I'm not exactly sure if I'm doing things properly. Should I (do I need to) use portsnap to populate /usr/ports? Unless I really need something that doesn't have a pkg available, I will not be using ports. I've always used portupgrade, and plan to do so, using -PP (only packages) for this setup. My first question is should I? Doing'pkg_add -r portupgrade' and it installed fine. Using pkgdb -F however, resulted in these messages: bsd# pkgdb -F cd: can't cd to /usr/ports cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade cd: can't cd to /usr/ports ----> Chcecking the package registry database Any help appreciated. Thanks, MikeC
