It's a problem that XF86-4 is a megaport (containing all the files of the other ports) and not a *meta*-port, which merely requires the installation of the other ports. See the x11/kde2 port for an example of a metaport. As I stated, this is under discussion and some preliminary work has been done. See the list I cited earlier for that information. -- Alan E "Please rush me my portable walrus cleaning kit! Yes I am over 18, but my IQ isn't."
