Lets say I'd like to install /usr/ports/x11/gnome on my dialup FreeBSD system. For smaller ports such as fetchmail one can simply, "make fetch" while online, then build later offline. But for gnome, fetch does nothing. "make install" will download the first thing, build it, move on to the next, download & build, and the next, until done. The other day I dropped my line and went to bed to find out the next morning Gnome stopped because something was missing. Anyhow, it just now failed to build for other reasons. Guess the port and 3.0 are not together yet. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
