   Hi,
   I have been using FreeBSD 6.2 for a couple of months now with no major
   snags.  Until now.  I did a portupgrade this morning and afterwards,
   when I logged in as a user into Gnome, my desktop was missing most of
   the programs (Accessories, System Tools, etc.).
   I rebooted the machine and "that other" terminal screen came up
   (Single User?) and I was prompted to "run fsck manually" so I did so.
   Well, fsck gave up on me.  I have no idea what happened or why.  Can
   anyone help me understand what is going on with my machine and any
   possible actions I can take to resolve this?
