If yes, type: cd games/xmines make make install make clean and some time later you have a working minesweeper game on your computer. You can do the same for cd /usr/ports/www/firefox make make install make clean To deinstall do cd /usr/ports/www/firefox make deinstall Ronald. PS: The great stuff of this is, that dependencies are automaticly resolved. -- Ronald Klop Amsterdam, The Netherlands
