Well, I hit another roadblock when running portsdb -Uu (error about not finding 
ports/net-im/gaim somethingorother).  Since I don't recall there *being* a net-im 
port, I restarted a cvsup, this time using ports-all (which I typically don't do 
after an initial cvsup after install) as per the error message.

Time will tell ...

It said "use Linux 2.4 kernel or better" so I installed FreeBSD.  Now everything 
runs better.  Why didn't they just tell me to do that to begin with?
