Method 1: cd /usr/ports make quicksearch name=sudo Method 2: cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/psearch make install clean rehash psearch sudo Method 1 doesn't require any extra software, but requires a lot of typing. Method 2 is very handy and speedy, and requires much less typing once psearch is installed. Portmaster is a ports installation/upgrading tool. It's not a ports searching tool. Remember the Unix philosophy: do one thing, and do it well. :) Use separate tools for separate functions. -- Freddie Cash [email protected] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
