Hello what is the differences between a PORT and a Package ? Is one better than the other ? Seems alot of them are not uptodate with the software on the home sites of that software. I assume cuz it was not written for Fbsd so whoever "ported" it has a different version number ? What is the best way to install software ? I have done a /stand/sysinstall but can not always find what I want but yet if i go to the freebsd homepage and do a search I find it but not thru the /stand/sysinstall. thanks md To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
