Make the user do the download manually; but have the port handle dependancies and the actual installation. For the kernel dependancies that can't be automated in the port, the port can issue a message telling the user what they need to do. (Ideally, it would first perform some sort of test to see if the running kernel was actually missing the necessary features.) -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
