Hi Adam,
   Thanks for the reply!

For clarity's sake, and as I've not done this before, please let me know
if I'm understanding this correctly. Here's what I make of the
suggestions of how to proceed:

# rm -R /usr/ports
# cd /usr/share/examples/cvsup; cvsup ports-supfile
# cd /usr/ports; portsdb -Uu
# pkgdb -F

Please let me know if the above procedure is that which your
instructions say.

Thanks again.

Stacey
