I really was following the directions (I have the script file as UPDATING suggests to prove it :-), but the upgrade didn't work as the X server failed to start after I rebooted. I'm hoping some kind person here will know the answer before I e-mail the list mentioned in that section of UPDATING. Anyway, that's basically, what happened. I have kdm set to start on bootup and it complained that X failed to start. When I got to the point of "portupgrade -aP" in the UPDATING section for X.org 6.9 -> 7.2; I decided to go with that command instead of "portupgrade -a" thinking that by now, even for amd64, the packages would be available. Perhaps a bad assumption. Anyway, once that completed, the stats reported by portupgrade were disconcerting but I thought that it was ok and continued. portupgrade reported that only 2 packages were porcessed, most were ignored with 50 some skipped and 1 failed. I then proceeded to the mergebase.sh script, ran that and when I was satisfied that all was done as expected, I rebooted my machine. Well, that's when X failed to start. So, how would I go about correcting this problem? Andy
