Why not: gunzip ports.tgz tar --delete -f ports.tar ports/chinese ports/german \ ports/japanese ports/korean ports/russian ports/vietnamese gzip ports.tar mv ports.tar.gz ports.tgz sh install.sh Consider other branches that are not wanted. Mine is quite a bit smaller. -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 8988928 Mar 15 03:06 ../4.0-RELEASE/ports/ports.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3746280 Mar 20 18:53 ports.tgz Use my sup/*/refuse files to trim out what I don't want after pulling out the categories that I don't want. Still takes about 12 minutes, but gave up well over a year ago on using the whole damn thing. More to trim out, but haven't got around to that yet. Still would like to set it broken into categories rather than lumped. More friendly, less filling.
