Yes it will. I usually use the -C flag of portupgrade when I'm updating ports. This flag prompts you with all the options screens before it does the update. That way you're not left with the upgrade hanging half way through whilst it waits for you to configure the options. As Polytropon says you can use the --batch flag if you know that you don't want to change the default options. >=20 > Thanks in advance/advice/suggestions. I am taking the plunge a little > further.
