You must set the XORG_UPGRADE environment variable to YES, and the script is made through the command line in the UPGRADE file using the script(1) utility. If you want a 100% secure X.Org upgrading, try 'portupgrade -vfarR', but this recompiles all your installed ports... use -P instead of -f if you want to install binary packages. > > Andy > [SNIP] > Regards, -- .O. | Daniel Molina Wegener | C/C++ Developer ..O | dmw [at] unete [dot] cl | FOSS Coding Adict OOO | BSD & Linux User | Standards Rocks!
