And, for future reference, for an easier time of it just mount the 2nd CDROM and: A) If you have lndir installed from the XFree86 basic distribution: # mkdir /usr/ports # lndir /cdrom/ports /usr/ports <wait> B) If you don't have lndir installed but do have about 4MB to spare, it's still no problem: # mkdir /usr/ports # tar --exclude distfiles -cBf - -C /cdrom ports | tar xBvf - -C /usr After you've performed either of those two actions, you can then do: # cd /usr/ports/editors/emacs # make all install And get all the various magical things to happen for you on the first try, including loading gmake if you don't have it yet. :) The ports collection is a useful little beast - check it out in detail! :) -- - Jordan Hubbard FreeBSD core team / Walnut Creek CDROM.
