But, the ports are not!! I ran into that problem. The NFS server I am
using does not understand Rock Ridge ( I know, change it!) and it will
not let me either ftp or nfs load the ports or packages. I end up ftping
them to the FreeBSD box and doing them locally instaed one at a time.
It would be nioce if it would work in the 8.3 environment for install
puropses also. Not a requirement though.
