It's slow & painful, but run through once with -n, to set all of your config options, & then run it again with BATCH=YES set (though I don't know if it would be best to edit /etc/make.conf, set it in the environment, or pass it with -m) to avoid it asking again. -- -- _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
