When installing gnome from the ports
# make install clean
installs a few hundred packages and displays dozens and dozens times a
configuration window
which I always answer by hitting TAB key to move to OK button and then
enter.
Now this installation is already busy for 7 hours (when will it end?)
Portmaster (ports-mgmt/portmaster) will help you do that.
- Sincerely,
Dan Naumov
