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". http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

How to use Port Collection without cd-rom and internet
Hi, I have access to the net only from Windows 98 and want to take advantage of all the ported apps, but I dont have the sources on cd. Is there a way (and where) to download the ported tgz files? I have installed the Port Collection and just need the right sources. Any help on this subject would be very welcome!
