Anyway, do you think you could download an ISO of the sources all that much faster than just downloading the sources directly from their respective repositories around the world as is normally done? OK, maybe a little bit faster, but not that much. If you simply must have sources not packages, you might consider using something like portupgrade -F to prefetch the sources you want separately from doing compilation, and just batch it to do that fetching overnight or something. -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) , (608) 266-6348
