I don't want to be thick, but what are the exact steps involved in this? My installed ports are already up to date, Id just want to rebuild the ones that depend on some version of X. So I guess I'd first install the xorg meta-port, then delete--what?, to make sure I get all the XFree86 versions?--and then do what to rebuild properly everything with depends? Thanks. I will wait if there is going to be some easy method in the future. Jen __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
