Well Juan on your word I installed macports from the dbg pkg file. I don't find tar, find or top in that distribution. To rectify this I'm wandering through the wiki pages and documentation a little lost. There seems to be lots of documentation but I don't seem to find an introduction or getting started doc that explains what is in macport by default and what if any extensions I might be missing. Any suggestions?
