At first distfiles are located at /usr/ports/distfiles ^^^^^ And, second, you do not have to download or copy distfile by hand (or using sysinstall) Look at /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk In this file find CD_MOUNTPT Hope, now you know that you don't need any flags. But... some ports can not be placed on CD-ROM, so they need be downloaded from Internet. Also some ports have incorrect Makefiles, so if you can find file which port tries download from Internet on your CDROM just place it into /usr/ports/distfiles (in correct subdirectory if needed) Pay attention that distfiles on CDROM may have incorrect (old) versions. -- Igor Roboul, Unix System Administrator & Programmer @ sanatorium "Raduga" http://www.brainbench.com/transcript.jsp?pid=304744 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
