 Thanks Jacob and Mike.  I've actually been mulling the option of
 upgrading from 4.6, but I'm not sure which version I'd rather have.  I
 waited when 4.7 came out, then 4.8 . . .
 
 My current install was built on 9/1/02 - just a version code update,
 not an OS update.  I almost upgraded then, but I was in the throes of
 a home purchase.  Not at my best, technically.
 
 I'd welcome (and appreciate) version recommendations before I make my
 next upgrade.  What is generally considered the most stable release? I
 see a lot of problems on this list, but not much about the useability
 and stability - of course the list is supposed to be a place to get
 solutions to problem though, right?
 

I have had great success following the STABLE branch using cvsup. I usually
upgrade almost every weekend. I have found thta upgrading more often
results in much less problems becuase each small change seems to work well.
Where I've had problems is when I waited to long to try to upgrade, and I
had many changes to apply.

Thanks a lot for the input.  I'll look for any recommendations
offered, read the FreeBSD site a bit, and run my upgrade in a few
weeks - after studying the 'correct' process again.

 Looks like a problem with Xlib, maybe the UGLY hack???

 Also, if I get a fix, can I restart the compile without recompiling
 everything I have already compiled?

I've been running into a different problem than that one:

-bash-2.05b# make install
===  Installing for openoffice-1.0.2_2

Initializing installation program..
*** Error code 1 (ignored)
===   Generating temporary packing list
===  Add wrapper scripts
sed: illegal option -- i

Obviously X has nothing to do with this.

Any ideas there?
