I've asked this question on a couple prior occassions, and I do not think I ever actually received any sort of reply, so, just a bit frustrated, i'm going to try a final time :) I'm currently running lots of old software. :) Gnome, Sawfish, Postfix, and just about everything else I have installed :) What's the best way to upgrade these things? For little programs like xmms, I'd just pkg_delete and then go into the ports tree and make clean install again... no biggie. But for big things, with lots of dependencies -- say, Gnome, for instance, it gives errors about every program currently installed, blah blah. Should I force it to delete the prior version; will the new version work with these programs, and will they be able to link into it, or should I just install the new one _over_ the old one? I'm not sure which is best. Thanks in advance for any help. --Ixokai (formerly Stephen@cerebralmaelstrom.com :)) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
