It does seem to be compiling a lot, which surprised me. From what you said, is the next step to do a portupgrade -Pra, again (with the portinstall option when, as I'm sure will happen, I do another start from scratch)?

Then I executed "pkg_add -r gnome2" I have not had much luck installing large collections of packages with the pkg_add -r. Unless I am using a ports tree that was included in an official release the resulting installation is out of sync. with my ports tree. I have much better results using portsupgrade. Portupgrade derives the package version from the port collection while pkg_add -r seem to download the package from the lastest release. Since you have just cvsup the most recent ports tree the packages you are installing may not be the same version as what you have in you ports tree. Run portsversion -v | less to verify the package you are installing are in sync. with your ports. I am not sure why it is taking so long to install your ports. Do you have a fast internet connection? When installing binary packages your internet connection is going to be what dictates the speed of the install not your processor. The task is not processor intensive. 24 hours later, it's still running. I'm not super-concerned, but I'm trying to understand what the differences are between the original, from the CD, installation and this one. It's a slow machine (300MHz Pentium 2) so I don't expect stellar performance, but it seems rather long. _______________________________________________ [1]freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list [2]http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [3]"freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" _______________________________________________ [4]freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list [5]http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [6]"freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" References 1. mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org 2. http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions 3. mailto:freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org 4. mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org 5. http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions 6. mailto:freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org
