Upgrading ports was a different story. Given this box has an nVidia card. I usually start by upgrading emulators/linux_base; which according to UPDATING; meant linux_base-f10 --> linux_base-c6. I deinstalled x11/nvidia-driver, followed by emulators/linux_base-f10. I then attempted to make install emulators/linux_base-c6, which resulted in a message that it wasn't supported. So I simply cd'd to emulators/linux_base-f10, followed by make install. Which resulted in a CVE message; indicating it was vulnerable to glib issues. I'm now stuck w/o hardware support for my video card, and unable to effectively follow a safe port upgrade path, that enables me to keep the options I have chosen for my currently installed ports. Is there a *safe* linux_base available? Thank you for all your time, and consideration. --Chris --
