Have a look at the Makefile in the ports. While theoretically you can change the location where stuff is put using ports, it does not always work out that well (I admit I could have screwed up). Mainly, some ports rely on other ports. I installed a bunch of stuff (gnu build stuff) that some ports relied on in my own dir /usr/public as a prefix. The ports system should know about this (ie at later install time) but certain ports that rely on this stuff seem to have it hardwired that this stuff is in / usr/local and these ports fail. So may ports can easily be changed, some ports can't. I use ports for things like build tools, system tools, editors, compilers. and certain standard SW we use. I use configure/make etc for my MTA, apache, php, my imap and pop servers, and lots of my service level software that I find much easier to customize myself without jumping through ports. best Chad -- Juha ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC Your Web App and Email hosting provider chad at shire.net
