Block: > > http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/portupgrade.html Thank you Antonio :) because I can't install FreeBSD by the 9.0 DVD, for what reason ever this doesn't work, I installed it by the 8.3 DVD and will now make a release upgrade. IIUC a release upgrade will rebuild everything, hence there should be no dependency issues. My FreeBSD 8.3 is a fresh install, I only set up PPPoE, anything else is default. IIUC I need to take care about it to keep dependencies up to date, when I don't upgrade the complete release, but just upgrade some software. So, can I upgrade from 8.3 to 9.0, without taking care about dependencies and take care about the link, when 9.0 is installed, instead of doing it right now? My apologize for the terrible English, I'm in a hurry, but wanted to rely immediately and this makes broken English not better ;). Regards, Ralf
