   I believe ports and packages to be 2 separate items.  pkg_info has    to do with what packages you have installed.  The ports system has to
   
   Different mechanisms are available to manage the source tree that t   he ports system uses to create packages.  I believe each of these
   diff   directory, an   published changes.  Yo   at any time, even if you don   or never install the built port.&nbs   your 1st question is that you begin wit   followed by updates that you manage.

   So far, I have not talked about installing yet.

   Once a port has been built, you can install it.  Unless you save th   built port as a package (the 'make package' command), you will not be

   Some commands in the different mechanisms you have available&n   manage your ports source, can be used to help select which pack   ages need updating when you install an update to a package.

   About your 2nd question, I have no idea.  I keep track of how to bu   ild a system, keeping copies of config files, then I make backups   file or data systems on an ongoing basis.

   Re gc44.  FreeBSD 7.2 comes with 4.2 already installed.  Maybe   you installed 4.4 on top of it, something got messed up, or an option   must be set for both to co-exist.  I don't know, but I would try to k   eep with the version that came with the system ( just an unjustified

     I'm sorry fellows.

   You guys have given me great support and apparently I didn't get back

   Okay -- I was able to get my mouse working.

   I made a ServerFlags section in my xorg.conf and suddenly!, my mouse

   Next, I have wonderful X sessions now.

   Next, I am prepared to nuke the /usr/ports area if I am told to do

   Question:  Does the rebuild process examine the pkg_info results    load up the directory appropriately?. or is it "one size fits all?"
   Question:  Does anyone have a solution for doing a general machin   backup to one file?  So that I can back the machine up and later, su   bsequently, perform a simple restore.  Because I've been using the
   mac   backups miss o   experience.      What's possib   As for gcc44, I am fairly certain that it's actually broken -- that
