I installed some of the FreeBSD 2.2.7 ports off the 4CD set that I got. I know that the distfiles are split between 2 CD roms, so I copied the smaller to my /usr/ports/distfiles directory, and popped the other in and mounted it under /cdrom. However, some of the packages still insist that they can't find their .tgz or whatever file. I don't really care about that. What I do care is that everytime this error message pops up, MAKE aborts and I have to intervene by deleting the directory of the port that had problems. What I want to have happen is when i run "make install" in the /usr/ports directory, I want it to skip anything for which it can't find the sources for and NOT bail on me. Is there any way to do this, or at least any way to get it to compile ONLY the ports that I selected to be installed, or do I have to go about things manually? --Jeff W.
