Or, use the ports system, and grab the source tarballs at work, burn them, and take them home. Put them in /usr/ports/distfiles, cd /usr/ports/somedir/mynextport, type "make install clean" .... Try installing portupgrade (/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade) on the work machine. You could then do "portupgrade -F" to fetch the source (recursively) for ports on your home machine, or "-FP" to fetch packages.... Lastly, the FreeBSD Mall (and some other vendors) have multiple CD sets that include distfiles for many major packages and their dependencies.... HTH, Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P.
