And to get the list of files to download do a make fetch-list in the right directory. Try make fetch-recursive-list to get a list of the files to download for that port and all of it's dependencies. I'd also recommend installing from packages whenever possible in that situation. You can get a list of the packages that a port depends on with make package-depends-list. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
