On my cd's there isn't any ports directory on 3 or 4. Of course #1 has the ports directory but no distfiles. Is this the answer to why make can't find them? Or is this a typo in the book? Where does make look for the files? Please try to wrap your lines when sending email. If you are installing from the 4.5 CDROMs, then you have to grab the distfiles from the ftp server. They were accidently left off of the CDs.
