Ok thanks for the detail response. I guess my confusion came from several places - the handbook explicity gives an example where you can refuse ports that aren't relevant to your environment (i refuse several such as japanese, chinese)...
Can you explain (if you know off hand) why make fetchindex would fix the problem (it did without adding the ports)? As a side but unrelated question it seems that recent updates to the port colleciton (such as mozilla, mplayer and netscape) have bad values (either size of time stamps) for the objects they are to fetch - do you know why this is happening (aka is it specific to me?) thanks, Alan ||From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Nov 13 05:49:41 2004 ||[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ||>Things worked fine until last upgrade (this morning).
