I dont know much about this, but if several ports need this path then maybe we could have the installworld script add mkdir -p /var/lib/nfs ? or perhaps just have the firefox port add the path? maybe there is yet another way to achieve this... the end goal here is to make this work by default the way it now does on ubuntu / debian comments welcome -- Sam Fourman Jr. Fourman Networks http://www.fourmannetworks.com
