If one creates a package for every installed port on the "host" system, then one simply installs the package on the target system. I have used this technique with some success when "transferring" ports from one system to another. In my situation, I'm using the same architecture (i386) and OS version (6.3 --> 6.3 or 7.0 --> 7.0). -- Regards, Doug
