If I remember correctly, the system installer does create some directory structure in /usr/local, so it won't be entirely empty when the OS has been installed; /etc/mtree/BSD.local.dist should give some information. This file is also handy for preparing a new ports installation "from scratch" when /usr/local has been entirely deleted manually. --=20 Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
