>Originator:     Bill Eckert

>Organization:
>Environment:
generic 386/486/586
>Description:
The ports mechanism as it comes off the cdrom.com disk set goes thru ftp. I tried to get ports for netscape and zircon that way and the files
cannot be located at either the primary site or your repository.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Put the files where they are supposed to be. Better yet, on those 4 disk sets, 
have the ports mechanism take the files off the local cdrom. I guess
there must be some way to do this, but I havent run across it yet.

State-Changed-Why:  
The ports collection mechanism *will* use the 4th CD, if mounted. 

Netscape and zircon are only deliverable via FTP but have become outdated 
since the CD was released (some ports move very fast).  The thing to 
do in that case is cvsup the -current ports collection (see the handbook).
