Well the nice thing about the 'tee' trick is that it lets you run the process in the background, and if Terminal crashes -- and lately it's been crashing on me a lot for some reason -- then the build can still proceed and you can still verify that it worked or diagnose any problems. But yes, for the most part cutting & pasting the terminal works too. -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / http://homepage.mac.com/chdevers/resume/ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
