Hi, I've had different experiences installing upgrades from ports while users are using the software. I'm particularly concerned with XFree86. /usr/X11R6 is being served from a central NFS server and all of the clients are using X. Will they be disrupted if I do a "make install" to upgrade XFree86 4.1.0 to 4.2.0? The config files should be the same, and in any case shouldn't be put in place by the install. But all of the libraries are going to change out from under a running system. Paul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
