I'd suggest doing a "pkg_info -R gettext\*" and saving the resulting list of dependencies, so you'll have an easy reference. > I have 48 dependencies on one box and 151 on another and only use a > dialup service.

If so, you could have the distfiles directory on one machine and mount it on the other via NFS, thereby avoiding the need to download to each machine separately. -- Conrad J.
