Then don't run your find in /usr/ports. :-) I hope you'll pardon me for saying so, but this has got to be one of the stupidest posts I've ever read and rivals the "it has too many notes!" scene in Amadeus. I can only hope that the fine folks at Atipa are just having a Really Bad Day and will send a follow-up posting shorting admitting that Kevin probably should have been kept away from the keyboard after 5:00pm and simply gotten dead drunk instead. :-) The ports collection has a very deliberate design with many advantages if one actually understands it (and few do, with many more only thinking that they do :), and its layout is neither disgusting nor ridiculous. It is now time for Kevin to go lie down. :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
