Hi Jerry, I see that some other folks have responded to your original question, and I hope that everything is working now. I thought I would jump in and suggest that you try out the ports-mgmt/genplist utility (http://www.freshports.org/ports-mgmt/genplist/) as a way to create your pkg-plist file. In many cases, genplist creates a pkg-plist that's at least 80% complete and requires some additional tweaking by hand. In some cases, the percentage will be higher, particularly with p5- ports. Best of luck, and thank you for contributing! Cheers, Greg - -- Greg Larkin http://www.FreeBSD.org/ - The Power To Serve http://www.sourcehosting.net/ - Ready. Set.
