You know that there is a package target as well? So you can "make package" to get a package file which you can install with pkg_add. If you create a directory packages in the ports directory the packages you create will be put in packages/All with symlinks from the categories and Latest for your convinience ... Needless to say, if you install a package which requires other packages those other packages are also installed, just like when you /stand/sysinstall or "make install" / "make reinstall" ... -- Rasmus Kaj ------------------ rasmus@kaj.a.se - http://Raditex.se/~kaj/ \ You can't grep a window - Use a Unix!
