Not to worry.., I always try to make sure I understand the procedures
first, before attempting anything :-) Thanks for that heads-up though..,

On the portupgrade option though.., Having just cvsup'd the ports
tree.., shouldn't "pkg_version -v" then tell me that there is an update
available for linux-opera?

If anything I'll look into this tomorrow, so as to ensure that whatever
updates take place with enough time for the dust to settle. 

The machine in question is a laptop, but I've got other boxes (4) that
I'd like to migrate to linux-opera-7, once I verify that flash and
Acrobat Reader plugins (at least) work.

There's a bit of web-dev that happens on my home network, and its good
to test animation here before proceeding to client sites (testing with
IE / Netscape from Win2K Pro at the moment, but it'll be nice to verify
that Opera works too).

I need Acrobat Reader plugin support to access technical specs and
papers without having to download, then open in acroread (when on
FreeBSD) afterwards..,

Thanks for verifying this for me.., I'll monitor and proceed
accordingly.
