 * If you install the system with ports, I think there is no possibility
 * to choose another directory. That might/should/could be changed ...

True, but the same goes for /usr/X11R6, which is more of a problem
because it will fill up your small /usr.  You can move /usr/ports to
wherever you want easily afterwards.

 * You're right... ports would have been better.

Yeah...hackers seems to have a horrible S/N ratio.... :(
