Why will they not just delivered as fully .tar.gz ? I hate to do a make and the port can't get all sources because the line's dead or too slow etc. Maybe there is a source for all ports which are making out of the box even on a non-networked machine, but I don't know where to find the stuff. As long as the ports-situation is that bad (maybe there are people who like it that way, maybe it's easier for them, I really hate this), I'm trying to get the source and compile by myself. This saves a lot of time which would be spent by waiting to get the real sources from freebsd.org after doing a make. Bye, Udo -- Udo Wolter, email: uwp@cs.tu-berlin.de !!!
