Fair enough.., I'll make sure that X is off before the exercise for each ma= chine. I don't suppose you'd be able to let me know what kind of time-frame= I could expect in terms of round-trip completion, would you? >=20 > I hope that someday they'll make -u a default argument to > portupgrade(1). Hmm.., reading through the man pages here (from a *NON*-developer's perpect= ive), I guess I could see why the "-u" switch isn't default, just in case *= something* fails during the install / registration stages I suppose. Then t= here's a way to back out. But again, I stress that I'm not pretending to un= derstand that stuff. On that note though.., see as on all my systems gnomemeeting is un-portupgr= adeable (openh323-1.12.0_3 is forbidden: http://people.freebsd.org/~eik/por= taudit/27c331d5-64c7-11d8-80e3-0020ed76ef5a.html), what are the chances of = gnomemeeting being in this state causing problems? I guess I'll find out la= ter tonight, but its good to be prepared. Thanks again, Adam.
