Make sure that /usr/local/sbin is in your path, since that's where dmidecode is installed. > ===> Checking if sysutils/dmidecode already installed > ===> dmidecode-2.8 is already installed This says that the dmidecode port is installed. If /usr/local/sbin/dmidecode doens't exist, try deinstalling and reinstalling the dmidecode port, in case something deleted the dmidecode binary on you. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
