Hmm, that's an interesting thought; since activate only creates hard links it'll definitely be faster than extracting the archive followed by creating those hard links. While inactive, ports shouldn't be looking in /opt/local/var/macports/software for stuff, so should be safe. Thanks for the idea. Bryan > -- > Daniel J.
