an even dumber q: how do i get sage's ports-ypgrade working?

[freebsdemail at gmail.com]

Are you referring to sysinstall?

/usr/sbin/sysinstall

In the older days it was under /stand if I'm correct

If you are missing the ports you could also simply use ftp to transfer the tar.gz archive from ftp.freebsd.org or an alternative mirror...

	Late last December my small network began falling apart.  Still
	not sure how, but a fellow from Dallas came to my rescue and from
	his home, slowly rebuilt and re-configured everything.  E.g.: for
	one thing, where I hack sendmail working via various kludges, he
	set up imap.  I had thought that was mostly for students....

	He also filled me in on jails.  Previously, I had my 1998 Kayak
	doing DNS and mail and web solo.  Jon created a jail and set
	things up there.  He used NFS to bring over things from a faster
	computer.  That's well and good; it makes sense to compile a
	suite that takes days on sage [Kayak @ 400MHz] on my Dell8200
	[2.4GHZ].  A few days ago I realized that I was missing some
	simple programs on sage.  I went into ports: empty.  Years ago
	there was a standalone script that let you fix or tune things. 
	I thought it was on the hard drive as well as the CD set.

	Anybody?

	thanks for any clues!

	gary
