Hello there, Can anyone tell me which are the avantages of installing from ports rather than installing from tar balls ? I am kind of new to BSD, and I'm familiar with linux install from tar & stuff. I know to give the switches to configure to tune the source for installation ... but how i can find the parameters for port install ? I mean ... let's say i want to install php and i have to give the path to mysql, apache and others graphical libraries ... how can I do that with ports ? Any link or explications about this subject is appreciated. Thanks, Cristi
