OK, my understanding is that the stuff in the ports tree is a "skeleton" as
it were. When I actually try to do a "make install" it pulls all the files
it needs from some location (presumably a CDROM or ftp site).
My only ftp access is thru a proxy server (got an ISDN connection to my
company). Does this process comprehend using a proxy server/port no. to
make ftp connections ?
Thanks,
