Hi,

Is there any difference between pkg_create -Rb or make package-recursive 
in the resulting package file?

I tried a pkg_create -Rb and copied the files to another machine, and 
when i installed the package it worked, but the program didn't load properly
(xorg + xfce4). It worked on the original machine, but failed on the 
other one.

or should i use tinderbox instead to create the packages to distribute 
between my machines instead?

Cheers
