Would it be better for me to start a new thread on freebsd-ports@ rather than continue discussing it here? I would recommend following up here with a short recap of things we discussed, and add ports@ as a second recipient. However, I'm not sure if this will help you instantly, as there needs to be some work done on 6.x to make this work. And as you could see, someone is already working on it... I guess the best thing to do is to be just patient for now... :-( Frank ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
