Yes, and to me, this seems the smarter way to do it. You can "pkg_add -r" to your hearts content, or, if you want all the ports (which I prefer over packages myself), use "fetch" to grab the latest ports.tar.gz and unzip it. > 2) If not, is there any other way to get the entire ports > collection into the jail, without actually being at the console?

I do not believe (I could be wrong, I've only done jail setups once) that when you create the jail it does not install the ports tree whether its on your box or not. However, if you want to avoid the bandwidth hit of fetching the ports.tar.gz, you could copy it over from the master into the jail/ports dir. If its an old ports.tar.gz, then you can cvsup it from inside the jail... I found this link to be superb when setting up jails for the first time: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/09/04/jails.html Brent
