As a dialup user with limited space, having the package system tell me how much it needed to download in advance would be very handy, as would automatic 'regetting' if my connection goes down. As regards ports 'plists', the way the Stow program does things is interesting. It simply builds each port under it's own directory, then symlinks it in from the relevant directories under $PREFIX. -- Michael McGoldrick: mmcgoldrick@linuxdriven.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
