I can think of a few ways: 1) Go to http://www.freebsd.org/ports and look up the port 2) grep DEPEND /usr/ports/x11-fm/xfm/Makefile (assuming that you're trying to find out the dependencies for xfm) 3) After a port is installed, you can look in /var/db/pkg/port-name for more info about it. 4) Don't worry about it, because a port will install its dependencies for you. Nice, eh? :) Jaime To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
