After about 3 days, I have finally managed to compile mplayer (works fine).

Thank you for your help, but I'm on dialup on an unsupported PCI modem, so 
really, there is only the hard way.

I untarred pkgsrc, and manually get all the distfiles, having to reboot 
each time into an OS which supports my modem.

This take a lot of time, but it works. Conflicting packages is the worst, I 
have the 6 package cd's, but most of it needs recompiling as later versions 
are needed.

I was thinking of writing a script:

pkgsrc ogle
-gets distinfo
-gets all dependecy distinfo
-spits out a list of filenames, sizes and md5's, if not on package cd's

I know this is sort of against the point of pkgsrc, but pkgsrc makes 
compiling a lot easier.

Thanks
