ah, ok,
and this bootable disk images are not compatible with mac os x ?
curious, but i jump over that to go to work :-)

well, maybe the puredarwin variant was not what i want, even when it  
worked


but let me insist :
i think it would be nice to have a variant of python which use only  
command line, and no GUI at all
is it realistic ?

i don't need python myself, and i only have other ports that depend  
on it (and the puredarwin variant was enough)
so the complete variant makes waste disk space, cpu time,  
dependencies, ...


last annoying thing (i hope) :
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: can't create directory  
"/Applications/MacPorts": permission denied

is there a way to set an other path than /Applications/MacPorts please ?
like with "./configure --prefix="
