That is all well and good, but the HANDBOOK makes no mention of the fact that I have to go poring though pkgtools.conf looking for mysterious settings to put in place. Since the HANDBOOK gives a specific suggestion for the refuse file and since it mentions portupgrade, it should also mention the fact that if you use a refuse file you need to update pkgtools.conf. Trying to remember every little obscure configuration file is a royal pain in the ass. That is what the HANDBOOK is for, to help me remember all of these obscure details. /Joe
