Not sure what you mean about avoiding multiple rebuilds, unless you're talking about generating a list and installing all the ports on that list one at a time. I think I understand what you're asking for though. In the portmaster man page there is a process for generating a list of ports that you have installed on one system for reinstall on another. You can use that list whether you use portmaster or not, the ports system will handle the dependencies for you. hth, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
