Argh, 3 additional ports sure sounds small but then you mention bloody ** teTex **, an application which is probably larger than FreeBSD itself, and I go a funny shade of grey when I think of that getting built on the snapshot boxes. ;) Send me some diffs and I'll run a few tests to see how serious a problem it is, OK? - Jordan From: bmah@FreeBSD.ORG (Bruce A.
