First off, don't do that. First do 'make', then do 'make install' (yes, the handbook says you just do 'make install' - it's wrong). You can also do both in sequence: 'make && make install'. To avoid the option popups, you can do 'make -DBATCH' instead of 'make' - this will give you the preset defaults for each port with options. Or you can do 'make config-recursive' - this will present you with all option screens for the port in whose directory you're currently in and all its dependencies, too - make your choices there, then just go on with 'make'. See 'man ports' for more information. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
