Well, I can make 3 suggestions. 1. cd /usr/ports ; make readmes That will make Readme.html files in each and every ports dir with links and short descriptions. You then only need to open the readme.html in /usr/ports to work your way down. But if memory serves me, that'll be similar to the list that's provided by http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports 2. There's also the good 'ol index file, which I wouldn't exactly call "human readable", but it does contain all of that information. Maybe you can find a simple way to convert that file into a more usable format. 3. You could just go to the "alphabetical list of all ports" link at the very bottom of http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ it's a list of every single port, with a short description, all on one page. Hope this helps. -Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex" <alex@aspenworks.com> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Monday, March 20, 2000 3:27 PM Subject: List of ports and descriptions ? > Hello, > > Just spend 20 minutes searching the freebsd.org site for the old list > of ports and short descriptions.
