That's already to install the port distribution. it's the slowest part of the install process. developers may not experience that, but all other users (who buy the cd) do. I am primarily concerned with that, and secondly with mainteinance issues when you have a new/updated port, you generally need to touch the Makefile and one or more files in pkg, and the info in pkg/* is often the same comments you would put at the beginning of the makefile. cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
