So I went into /usr/ports and typed: make install bash2 However, it started to install lots of stuff. It installed tcl/tk/Xfree86/X-Windows and a bunch of other stuff (I wasn't watching the whole way through), and is installing packages in the "astro" directory as I write this. It just finished installing seti@home, I believe. What the heck is it doing, and why do I need all of this junk just for the bash shell? I'm assuming it's getting installed because a bigger program needs a smaller program which needs a smaller program, etc... but this is ridiculous. It's already consumed over 400 megs. Someone please help... - Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
