Python on FreeBSD

[dsavitsk]

greetings;

i am having some trouble wih python on FreeBSD.  I installed python 2.0
from the package collection.  Then when i installed idle from the ports
collection, it said that python 1.5.2 was a dependency and installed
that too.

That's not the problem (i don't think anyway).  The problem is that when
i tried to make install mod_python it couldn't find a checksum for
python15 (which as far as i know installed fine as idle works fine).  is
it safe to force the build w/o a checksum? or is it better to CVSup and
try to make install again? or will that do anything different?

os is FreeBSD 4.2.  i downloaded and burned the iso, so packages are
installed from cdrom, but i install ports via ftp.

any help, suggestions, places to look would be welcome as i am new to
the unix world.
