btw RW, you might take a look at using csup for maintaining your ports instead of portsnap. when you clear your ports directory and start over, you will notice that portsnap takes quite a while to even start unpacking the snapshot (at least it does on my computer). however, with csup doing it, the population of the ports directory start almost immediately. to me it just feels like it gets done a lot quicker. if you are familiar with csup, you might have already seen the ports-supfile in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/. give it a try and see what you think, you might be pleasantly surprised! -- Jonathan Horne http://dfwlpiki.dfwlp.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
