|O|>just a suggestion but try "man portupgrade" pay special attention to |O|>--force, and --upward-recursive. Also take note of the examples. |O|>Hope this helps. Nope. I think I need to stop using the -r option with portupgrade. I had this problem before, and was unable to get the ports to all compile, so I jumped into /stand/sysinstall and did it from there. I'm a little confused as to why the "packages" are at the same release level as the ports, and that caused two versions of the same "pkg" to exist on my system. That was the start of my problems. I can't get Gnome to finish compiling. In fact, Xfree 3 won't even load anymore. I upgraded it, and no matter what I try with the config file, it loads, and craps out. I'm somewhat miffed (and pissed!) at all this. My freebsd box in my internet gateway, web server, et al, but it's kinda stupid having it around if all it'll do is command prompt stuff. I'm trying to work with Xfree 4 now because I want to get my ATI Rage Pro with TV working. In a week or so I'll just toss the computer out the window. No wonder Windoze is so popular, just load up a Cd and go, versus dick around for weeks and get no where with these other systems. It doesn't make sense. (can you tell I'm frustrated again?) gf To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
