Since XFree86 isn't part of the FreeBSD world, nothing will happen when you do a make world. Your make.conf is already set to not rebuld XFree86. If you upgrade from CDROM, don't install the X on the CDROM, and you'll be fine. X may quit working, so you'll have to upgrade the port. But that's possibility exists with any port when you do an OS upgrade. > Also, the pertinent line from my source tree supfile currently looks > like this : > > *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 > > What version of FreeBSD will I get if I do a cvsup right now?

It will be 4-STABLE, which is currently calling itself 4.3BETA. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
