I expect you'd have to do a 'make extract' on the base distribution then edit the sources yourself. If you know what you're doing (and I assume you must if you feel you actually need all of that functionality), it shouldn't take terribly long. You may end up having to do the install manually. I believe there's a way to force the system to think a port has been installed even if you didn't install it through the ports system (eg. installed manually), but you'll have to look around a bit - I'm not sure of the exact command. > Thanks for any info. > > John -- Derrick Baumer bduk@earthlink.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
