I'm *very* impressed with the way ports stuff is organized. What a wonderful organization, makes much more sense than Linux's package systems. Takes strain off FreeBSD's ftp servers, too, because the packages get downloaded from their own home sites... The FAQ in section 4.6 of the handbook answered most of my questions. However, here goes another one: Q: How do I find out what other ports does a port depend on?
