Yea, my plan was to do both the base system AND all installed ports/packag= es. I have it all updated now. It was somewhat of a nightmare. I will post more details of how I recovered from this mess soon. I learned a lot. The #1 thing I learned is that if you're going to update/upgrade *either* your ports/packages *or* the base system, you had damn well have a LOT of free space available in your /var partition. Eleswise havoc *will* ensue. More later. Regards, rfg
