Hi I have just run portupgrade -a for the first time. About 2 hours later I realized that portupgrade is not only building the port I built myself from /usr/ports but also the packages which I did install from the CD. I do not want to build Mozilla or XFree myself, is there a way I can exclude such large programs from being updated ? Are installed ports and packages stored in the same database ? For the next question I just need a pointer to the right documentation ; I would like to read more about using sysinstall to upgrade my system instead of "make world." Is there some kind of "packageupgrade" which downloads and installs new packages for stuff I do not want to build myself ? Bye Stefan
