Just do it dang it... just do it! ;o) I'm not the one to ask because I use the -c and do them one at a time. The portupgrade option -rRa will do some of it. I just want it to do it at my convience and choosing :). I also have an AMD 2400+ that sits off to the side of my computer desk and I build everything on it. The problem with the -c list is that it doesn't build dependancies first. The -rRa will do that but I also create packages and adding "p" to build packages creates a lie. Portupgrade repackages everything but doesn't rebuild everything. So, you think you have a current build but only have a current package. They aren't the same thing :). One point I was going to make about the booting. It is as clean and mean a process as you can create. Anything you add will only slow it down. Given a choice of a quick boot or a pretty one, I will go for speed everytime :).
