Ie. fetching the distfile, as you suggested above. As soon as I start running portmaster -a or a 'make install clean' on certain ports, the progress just bombs out totally. It would be really cool if I could find a way to centrally manage all of this. So perhaps in conjunction with CVSup..... Something like a Linux repo server if you will - though I mention the term very loosely. Regards, Kaya
