 * I installed some of the FreeBSD 2.2.7 ports off the 4CD set that I got.  I
 * know that the distfiles are split between 2 CD roms, so I copied the
 * smaller to my /usr/ports/distfiles directory, and popped the other in and
 * mounted it under /cdrom.  However, some of the packages still insist that
 * they can't find their .tgz or whatever file.  I don't really care about
 * that.  What I do care is that everytime this error message pops up, MAKE
 * aborts and I have to intervene by deleting the directory of the port that
 * had problems.  What I want to have happen is when i run "make install" in
 * the /usr/ports directory, I want it to skip anything for which it can't
 * find the sources for and NOT bail on me.  Is there any way to do this, or
 * at least any way to get it to compile ONLY the ports that I selected to be
 * installed, or do I have to go about things manually?
 *  --Jeff W.

Create a file "/usr/ports/makefile" and put all the ports you want in
the SUBDIR list, or use "make -k".
