There is no /usr/ports directory yet. I am trying to use the "portcheckout" port and the "porteasy" port to just populate the ports tree with only the ports I use. Problem is in both cases the above ports require an existing INDEX file to process and since I have none they don't work. How can I just download the ports INDEX file? Portsnap is not a solution.
