Yes, it is Fast! I belive it is even faster on startup... One Question: Do I HAVE TO put it into my ports tree? Or can I put it somewhere into my home directory tree? e.g. 1 cd ~/myports/www 2 svn co https://trillian.chruetertee.ch/svn/freebsd-gecko/branches/experimental/www/firefox-devel 3 cd firefox-devel 4 make install clean Does that work? Where doesthe distfile go to then? Heino
