In other words, you wouldn't be dependant on yet another program from the ports system, right? I'm trying to understand just precisely what depends on what, and to help ensure that there are no circular dependancies. I'm also trying to help suggest a path whereby we don't have more important things (like the doc/ tree) dependant on lesser things (like the ports system). -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.
