Hi everyone, I just wanted to pass on how I've had so much success using portupgrade to install new software under FreeBSD 6.0 I build my previous installations into packages and backup them up to the location specified by PKG_TMPDIR=/usr/local/temp/ports_pkgs.bak (which I never remember but have it set in root's shell env. anyway) I just installed the native Flash plugin for Mozilla which works great. #portupgrade -bNr flashplugin-mozilla I love portupgrade's "globbing". Can't use it blindly but almost. I'd love to hear what other users are having good success with for this or other tasks. Best Regards, --Duane Whitty duane@greenmeadow.ca
