Is there any way to get the appropriate distfiles? I usually do this dance: su - cd /usr/ports/distfiles lynx http://ftpsearch.ntnu.no/ftpsearch Then I enter the name of the distfile I need in the second search box at the bottom for files. Then after the 50 or so sites that has the file pop up, I pick a fast one and download it right into the distfiles directory. I find I'm having to do this a lot lately. Especially for all the rpm's in linux_lib and linux_dev. Hope this helps. Best Regards, Scott Alan Wilson http://sawilson.org Use FreeBSD?
