What is my mistake? Not creating packages for all required dependencies, I think. Probably the easiest way is to install all the ports you want on one machine, and then copy /usr/local and /var/db/pkg to the other PC. Provided of course that both machines use the same hardware architecture! Use rsync(1) if you can make a network connection between the machines. This can be very fast. Otherwise write the files to a USB disk. > 2) I've installed FreeBSD 7.1 on a 2.6Gh Celeron with 1Gb of RAM and a > fast internet connection.

I prefer compiling ports from source myself, so I can use non-standard options. But this might take a lot longer.
