That's what I thought I did (tried to upgrade pkg's Monday), but it 
didn't work :-) .... Obviously, being a noob to FBSD, I don't know what 
I am doing, that's why I am posting the question :-) .... Could you be 
more specific about that weekly upgrade process ? Are there any 
order-of-op'ns issues, i.e. do pkg's 1st, then ports, for example (I 
updated ports 1st, then (tried to upgrade) pkg's) .... Any specifics 
would be helpful ....
