I'll try the portmanager. I read through a discussion of it in freebsd-questions, but didn't have a command example to try. (Thanks for your command suggestion for portmanager.) For portupgrade I have paper copies of the man page and paper copy of an article which I cross reference before running it. You are right on dependencies not being built. I had to pkg_delete qt and rebuild it from ports in order to upgrade kde. Before seeing your message I ran portupgrade on xorg using the -frR switch. X seams to be working now, somewhat. I use windowmaker as the desktop windowmanager for the root. Entering the command "startx" as root, windowmaker starts up and looks fine. However, I can't open a terminal window in it. The default twm windowmanager crashes. No error messages go to the log but I get a line: Xauth: (argv):1 bad display name "nedsbsd.cox.net:0" in "list" command and two others of like nature as messages after x crashes. I entered "nedsbsd" as a display name when I initially installed FreeBSD several months ago. I had no clue what it the install program was asking for at that time and figured I could change it later. It didn't seam to cause any problems so I neglected to change it. I generally cvsup my ports and fetch the index right before I do any upgrading. Even if it's just the next day. Never know when something new is going to pop in that could cause a make to crash. I took down the optimizations you suggested. The lines currently have no meaning to me, so I'll need to read up a bit. I've been running FreeBSD for less than a year and I've had no computer experience or training outside very basic MS windows. So many things are new and many are incomprehensible at first look. Dispite that I feel far more comfortable and secure using FreeBSD than I ever did using Windows. That's why I'll keep plugging away.
