.... I have been doing 'pkg upgrades' from an rxvt shell window for 
months now. They have been going mostly OK, with a few rectifiable 
glitches. Is it better/recommended to do so from the 'console' CLI, i.e. 
no desktop, no XFCE, etc., just plain login shell ? just checking .... 
TIA & have a happy new year.
