The ports has no problem with that, since it leaves all the port dependencies in /usr/ports/distfiles but i prefer packages than recompiling every time i install a fresh system something like gnome would eat my day compiling it. -- System Programmer -- I'm Searching For Perfection, So Even If U Need Portability U've To Use Assembly ;-) -- http://libosdk.berlios.de
