However, you should look at ports/sysutils/portupgrade or ports/sysutils/portmanager. There are a million and one messages in the archives about them, and specific questions about them regularly get answered here. If you are prepared to accept default configuration options and don't want to recompile, then check out using packages. The handbook undoubtedly has something to say about them, and you can still use portupgrade. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html --Alex
