Go to the desired port and do a 'make fetch-recursive'. This will fetch all the distfiles of the port and all its dependencies. (Doing a 'make checksum-recursive' is an even better idea since that will check all the checksums of the distfiles too.) -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
