I've looked but have been unable to find an answer to my question. Can I use portupgrade to upgrade XWindows related components while XWindows is running? For example, I use the Gnome desktop. If I open a terminal window on the desktop, can I upgrade Gnome and XFree86 related items that need updating in this window? Or is it required that I exit my desktop session, kill gdm, and then kill XFree86 and run portupgrade from a console session? Or maybe this isn't required but preferred? I'm confused. Thanks for any insight. Drew
