The files that are fetched my `make fetch' when you `make install' are copied in /usr/ports/distfiles, but only if fetch completes successfully.

(i dont wanna reboot) if i can help it. Don't reboot. You can add the precompiled package to which I pointed you above, and then you should be able to use CVSup without rebooting :) Giorgos Keramidas FreeBSD Documentation Project keramida@{freebsd.org,ceid.upatras.gr} http://www.FreeBSD.org/docproj/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
