If you don't, you have a situation=20 like the Xfont problem in XFree86 where the fonts were moved to=20 =2Dlibraries and the pkg_delete of the old location deleted them but=20 didn't reinstall them. You had to reinstall -library in order to=20 continue with the update. I don't upgrade kde from a konsole in kde. So, my attitude was that I=20 didn't have a working version with the first dependancy update. I also=20 used 2 AMD 2400+ XP's to build alternating packages in parallel and use=20 the package for the install on the other computer. So I had 2 machines=20 down until I finished and that was something on the order of 6 hours. If you upgrade, set "BATCH=3Dyes" in your /etc/make.conf and start the=20 upgrade while you aren't around. FruitSalad only has packages for 5.2,=20 so you will have to build them from the port and that takes a long=20 time. The BATCH command tells the make to install everything.
