Thanks for the help. I got a suggestion on a forum to build it as a package..."make MINIMAL=yes package" I haven't created a package from a port, so I'm not entirely sure what that'll do. It installed Java fine and left me with a bzip2 file. Does this mean I can just copy that file to any other machine I'm using and install Java as a package, so I don't have to wait the long time for it to build? Or would it be better just to build it all on each machine anyway?
