I'm well aware of this, and is also why I no clue what could have happened. It would never have occured to me that updating a port that has to do with audio and video containers would totally leave me unable to login into my system or issue and shell commands without getting a segmentation fault. I did discover that my / file system had run out of space -131MB. I'm still able to issue sudo, so using sudo rm -r I was able to free up 25GB...but still, /bin/sh, ls, clear all seg fault and su doesn't work and switching consoles doesn't let me log in. I maybe be left with attempting a single user boot, but I'm still not that comfortable at attempting such as I don't want to have a totally useless box. -- Rod Person http://www.rodperson.com "First we got population.
