This *REALLY* needs to be moved to ports@freebsd.org where everyone would get more expert advice on this topic (and where any changes to defaults need to be discussed before changing them). To answer the question -- a site. But realize that this is a valid site: file:/cdrom/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR}/ Which is exactly how distfiles are fetched from CDROM before going out on the network. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) GNU is Not Unix / Linux Is Not UniX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
