Well, it's a cable connection that doesn't seem to be having any
difficulty. It does seem to be compiling a lot, which surprised me.
From what you said, is the next step to do a portupgrade -Pra, again
(with the portinstall option when, as I'm sure will happen, I do
another start from scratch)?
Thanks,
Bill

I have not had much luck installing large collections of packages with the
pkg_add -r. Unless I am using a ports tree that was included in an official
release the resulting installation is out of sync. with my ports tree. I have
much better results using portsupgrade. Portupgrade derives the package
version from the port collection while pkg_add -r seem to download the
package from the lastest release. Since you have just cvsup the most recent
ports tree the packages you are installing may not be the same version as
what you have in you ports tree. Run portsversion -v | less to verify the
package you are installing are in sync. with your ports.
I am not sure why it is taking so long to install your ports. Do you have a
fast internet connection? When installing binary packages your internet
connection is going to be what dictates the speed of the install not your
processor. The task is not processor intensive.

later, it's still running. I'm not super-concerned, but I'm trying to
understand what the differences are between the original, from the CD,
installation and this one. It's a slow machine (300MHz Pentium 2) so I
don't expect stellar performance, but it seems rather long.
