Hello, It is always nice to know what you should have done;) A little late, I'm afraid, but when using the script is being used and the upgrade fails because of a power outage after the ports have been uninstalled and not rebuilt, what is the correct proceedure to follow? I reiniciated the update by reexecuting gnome_upgrade212.sh -f and it seems as though I'm going to loose some ports that were deleted during the first execution. When I realized that was a posiblity, I checked the -h option and saw -restart that I should add as an argument and don't know where might be or if I should have created it before iniciating the upgrade process. What is the recommended procedure in this case? It looks like this could easily be a 24 hour or longer process on a PIII so in 24 hours anything can happen. thanks, ed > If you're used to > gnome_upgrade from previous releases, a lot has changed in this release. > You should run gnome_upgrade.sh (or gnome_upgrade212.sh) with the -h > flag to get the new usage. > > In keeping with FreeBSD GNOME tradition, we held a splash screen contest > to find a great FreeBSD-specific splash screen for our users.
