Dear Core Team,
I am trying to install kde3 from ports by simply
typing "make install" from /usr/ports/x11/kde3. 
However, I left it compiling overnight and was greeted
with a prompt the next morning (to choose some detail
for the compile/installation).

During the kdegames portion, I noticed an option to
install without prompts, but it flashed by too quickly
and scroll lock; page-up could not retrieve the text.

There appears to be a switch to take all modules and
also a switch to exclude specific modules.  How can I
find out what these magic switches are?  There was no
README in the ports directory as suggested for general
installation in Chapter 4 of the FreeBSD installation
guide.   In fact, I don't see any README in any port
directory.

Please advise, because I'm sure I will be greeted with
another prompt tomorrow morning and I'd rather
interrupt the build, set the switch, then continue the
build without prompts.

If I recall, the general FreeBSD install also suffers
from the same prompt annoyance in the middle of an
install (after you think you started an install with
your preferences).

Regards.
