dd if=/dev/rwd0 ? or tar cvf ./backup /etc I believe that you will find the configure.out file in the ports directory which contains the output of the configure arguments. Although that said, how do you know a later version will not be different. What you are suggesting should work, but it would be very dependant on the version of the ports used, you're better off using a method that is flexible, which is hard with source builds. .debs are a little easier to manage, dpkg --get-selections makes it a little easier to rebuild a system from deb, unfortunately life is a little harder in openbsd land. -- http://edd.link9.net - http://irc.is-cool.net
