I found the page http://onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/07/FreeBSD_Basics.html which says that "make package" creates tgz packages which you can copy over to the slow machine and use pkg_add to install. Commands that "might" be intresting to read about: make fetch portinstall As I am quiet new to this as well, lets hope someone else can explain how to extract all packages easily (make package seems to work on one single package, portinstall has an option for making packages as it works through the build process whihc can be handy to create all dependencies in one go) and what to think about when building for different architectures (if that is necessary). -- Anders Andersson
