I've been wanting to install tinyfugue on my system, but haven't
been able to figure out the ports setup. My machine has a T1 
connection (which is how I get to it) but the cd-rom drive died,
so I've been unable to see if what I need is on the cd-rom.

I've read through the web page stuff about ports, but it didn't quite
jell for me. What would be very helpful is a walk-through, like
a 1-2-3 list of
1. mkdir /usr/ports
2. put something in a file
etc.

Anything like that available?

Thanks.

later, david
