What you are seeing is the effects of extracting and creating ~75K files. I believe sysinstall is doing something along these lines. fetch -o- ftp://some.host/ports.tgz | (cd /usr; tar xzf -) To see the same kind of effect but in reverse, after you install the ports tree try this. cd /usr; tar czf /tmp/ports.tgz ports Take a long dinner break and you'll be lucky if it is done by the time you come back. :) -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
