Yes, it does extract the source every time and is supposed to do that. It does not compile all of it every time. It is just parts of it that is recompiled each step. Yes, it takes forever and uses lots of diskspace. (And if you think it is slow for you then guess how long it takes for me on a Pentium/133.) I am afraid I do not have a solution for these problems, but a workaround is to install XFree86 4.2.0 using packages instead of ports. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
