Hello Abigail,

No, I have been doing it with ports all along.  About the only thing I do
with ports!

Any possibility of a vinstall coming soon on this?? The problem is that when
we do ports installations over a vinstall, or later try to do a vinstall
over a ports with programs - we tend to run into various issues.  I'm
comfortable with ports, but would rather keep things consistent.

John, was your previous installation done with a vinstall? If so, were there
any issues or problems to be aware of in doing the ports installation?
