And for a more readable variant you can go into /usr/ports (or one of the subdirectories) and do 'make readmes' which will create a file README.html in each port below the directory in which you do the make. The creates a nice, readable, list of all the ports. (This is documented in the ports(7) manpage if you didn't know.) -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
