I have the distfile inn1.4sec.tar.Z, innxmit-long-lines, and the source tree from the ports/inn directory but I'm not sure of the procedure. I read the explaination of ports in the handbook, but it was not detailed enough. I need to know where to put the sources, where to type make. Once that's done, I'm all set with inn! Thanks, Craig
