Yes. The name has to change because other systems can also use menuselect. E.g., dahdi-tools uses ~/.dahdi.makeopts (and /etc/). Or you could just save menuselect.makeopts somewhere and copy it to each new source you fetch. Remember to save it again if you make any changes you want to keep. -- Barry -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
