Not sure. Incomplete.

New page

I'm not sure my example was really a port, I see "pkg" a lot in the commands. Also I've left the page incomplete due to my current lack of knowledge in some areas.

-when you install a port, what the "make" does is -- wait for it -- ''make'' a package. the "make install" ''installs'' the pkg that the "make" built, and all the other shit that gets downloaded and installed and used temporarily gets tossed in /usr/ports/distfiles. generally speaking, you won't need anything in /usr/ports/distfiles unless you're planning on building that port again, which is why it's a good idea to run "make distclean" from /usr/ports every once in a while, since that shit can really take up a lot of space.
