Hi Joshua, cd /usr/ports && patch -E < /localpath/to/yourpatch should work. But only when /usr/ports is a clean, cvsuped, non-patched version. Means, you can't apply the patch twice (so, you can't apply the newer patch when you allready applied an older one). -- Oliver Lehmann http://www.pofo.de/ http://wishlist.ans-netz.de/
