The ports system is constantly improving, as it should. It is not a savings in disk space unless you ignore the opportunity costs. Time and effort spent working toward negligible savings is time and effort that is no longer available for more effective improvements. 5 MB isn't even worth _arguing_ about ... so I'll have nothing more to say on this thread. :-) John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D.
