due that the package format is faster to download/install that the port format (source), does exist a x11-frontend to manage FreeBSD packages ? for example if I want to install latex via the ports, I have to download 252352345 MB of source code, then compile it. If I use package, it takes only a few. any suggestions/idea ? cam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
