Re: Question on /etc/make.conf for upgrade to 4.8R
However, I do use tcsh for shell operations and sh for scripting. I can see the merit of not building BIND as you said. I checked the ports, and these programs also exists in ports, I guess I can always build and install from port after a fresh port cvsup if I need to later on. Thanks.
