I'd mv /usr/ports /usr/ports.orig before unzipping the port. Also have a look at the `fetch-recursive-list' target. It allows you to generate a shell script that will download all the required distfiles for a specific port. E.g. cd /usr/ports/www/apache22 make fetch-recursive-list If you are going for packages instead of ports, have a look at pkg_fetch(1). -- Best regards / Viele Grüße, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Simon Barner [EMAIL PROTECTED]
