Clearly this does not matter. "pkg update -y" is almost guaranteed to hose the system because of the mozilla interlocking dependencies with xfce, gimp and the like. I will try that eventually but I was hoping for a smaller hammer. To the powers that be, an option on delete that says do only the single one would be really cool. That said, this is a fairly old system. Disks have been known to fail with these symptoms, but I can not find any evidence of this so far. _____ Douglas Denault http://www.safeport.com doug@safeport.com Voice: 301-217-9220 Fax: 301-217-9277
