(postgresql7 is not a default, so I added it.) I'd like to have at least a few opensrc BBS/message board suites available for FBSD. phpbb and phorum are two I've tried. After a week of mis-tries (last May) I finally got phpbb-2.0.4 working. phpbb died inexplicably when I upgraded a week ago. The trouble with phorum is that my browser display goes white after only the first two or three installation steps. Can you send me a tarball of your port off-list? gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
