Thanks for the reply.

As nothing (presumably this refers to X-related apps) will run in between "rm -rf'ing /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/*" and the portupgrade cmd, is it best then, to ensure that no-one is logged in on X during this exercise?

If anything I'll be looking to run this overnight.

Thanks again, Adam.

Regards,

Stacey
