    Hi Joshua,

    freebsd-questions is a better (well, the only) forum for asking
    questions. I'm forwarding it there for you.

    You shouldn't need to subscribe to the list; you should be CC'ed
    on any replies.

    The only real advice I might give is that you should definitely
    read UPDATING before running portupgrade -a. Sorry I can't help
    more, but I'm a newbie :).

    Regards,
    Clayton
