Thanks for helping me again.

Options -f and -y are new to me.  From reading the man

just the ones identified in a previous portmanager

That means perhaps another 38 hour job.

Or, is it sufficient to run against the few
applications listed near the top of this message?

Thanks for the reminder.  I have been using portsnap
to fetch and update daily.
