No, I read the man page :-) I may be stupid, but I am not lazy :-)) The man page also helpfully says "This man page may occasionally be out of date" so, while it's a useful document, it is not necessarily the final arbiter of correctness.
What confused me was that /etc/default/make.conf had disappeared. Other replies have made it clear that the user is free to copy /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf to /etc/make.conf, and edit as desired. What I am still unclear about is why the /etc/default/make.conf file has disappeared in 5.x. But that is a less important question. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Antoine Jacoutot Sent: Monday, 14 June 2004 17:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Default make.conf in FreeBSD 5.x?
