It means use a third party application, one not bundled with FreeBSD, this allows you to upgrade a single component rather than the entire system. see: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=egcs&stype=all http://www.freebsd.org/ports/lang.html > > ack > it is hard to advocate the technicalness of this reply Why not? it clearly explains what you have to do to get a working solution.
