I have fixed, but the maintainer has not looked at it yet. I'm refering to the linux_base port. its downloading all those rpms because its part of the linux compatibility.

Last time anyone checked, it wasn't out for freebsd, but that may have changed. > I tried the workaround suggested by someone; install > linux-netscape-4. > > It didn't work either, it has to get a bunch of RPMs > (YUCK!) to build and it can't find them, like the > script is way outdated.
