I just want to install x. I used Winblows to get it (just lazy and like WS_FTP) Now, ports.tgz resides in C:/zipwork. I un-tarred it, and now have something like C:/zipwork/ports/x11 with all of the /ports/x11/* directories under that. Would this be an appropriate way to proceed? : tar -cf - -C /dos/zipwork/ports/x11 . | tar xpf - -C /usr/ports/x11 cd /usr/ports/x11 make install To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
