Downloading OOo, other ports outside of the system?
I have what may seem like an odd question. I have a new FreeBSD 4.9 system that I want to install OpenOffice and some other stuff on. Most of the stuff left to install is pretty big and thus will be hard to download via ports over my dial-up connection (yes, I use dial-up). I know it's possible to download tarballs and drop them into the ports tree somewhere so you don't have to do the download. I'm wondering how easy this is, though. By that I mean, if I wanted to say install Tomcat, Java, OpenOffice, etc. in this manner how would I know which package to download? And from where?

Look into the makefile for the port. There's a line starting with MASTER_SITES, you can download from any of these. The variable DISTFILES contains the name of the file.

Look into the makefile for the port. There's a line starting with MASTER_SITES, you can download from any of these. The variable DISTFILES contains the name of the file. Thanks! I'll take a look when I get home and maybe download them tomorrow. Will it list dependencies as well?
