I'd like to use those machines to download the larger distfiles, and transfer them onto my BSD machine with a Zip disk. How can I interpret the Makefile of a port to ensure that I get all the appropriate distfiles? Just look at the DISTFILES, BUILD_DEPENDS, and RUN_DEPENDS? -- David Kanter djkanter@nwu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
