At least you need one machine with Internet connection to get the ports update, e. g. using "portsnap fetch extract" or "make update" (using csup). Once done, tar cf ports.tar /usr/ports and transfer the file to the server without Internet connection; finally extract it there. Another way would be to use the FreeBSD release CD or DVD to get the RELEASE related ports tree from there. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
