No, you got it wrong. You run 'make config-recursive' and get all the configure screens at once. Afterwards you can just run 'make install clean' and go away. Read the ports(7) manpage. If you're using sysutils/bsdadminscripts you can run 'portconfig-recursive -a' before a 'portupgrade -a' in order to avoid having someone sit in front of the machine during the portupgrade. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
