(I ran into that trap a >while ago) Like a proper n00b, I didn't even know there was such a directory. I followed the upgrade FAQ at freebsd.org on the assumption that it was a full set of instructions. Thank you very much for this tidbit.

I tried running several commands in console mode that I can normally run from any location and they all worked fine. so far startx seems to be the only thing that won't run like it used to. I read something about shells having to be rehashed to update the PATH lines? I run in bash if that makes a difference. Thank you very much for your help so far. _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?
