Normally it doesn't matter whether it's in the environment or defined in make.conf. The only exception I can think of is that a handful of ports have deinstall scripts that test for BATCH to avoid prompting you for removing special users/groups, but can only see it if it defined in the environment ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The "managers" as you call them are more for upgrading and maintenance
rather then original installation.
Most people would use pkg_add -r, or compile from source in /usr/ports.
Once you get familiar with things, I'd recommend setting up a local ftp
package repository based on own source compiles so you only have to do
them once.
see make package
et al.

I'm not quite sure how to do that. Would a simple WITHOUT_X11=YES or similar pull it off? I got the impression those were environment variables, and not something specific to make. But my software development knowledge in this area is next to nothing. I guess I have to get used to reading manpages. Looking through the one on make.conf left me imperfectly edified. It's hard to know when I'd actually need to change anything in there for practical use.

Confusion about Ports and options framework
Hi, I've read through the sections of the handbook quite carefully, and haven't quite found what I'm looking for. To be specific, I've no plans to install X11 or anything like it on this machine yet. I may do so in the future merely to see how accessible Gnome and such are, but not now. I note that /usr/ports/editors/emacs has several environment variables which can be set, such as WITHOUT_X11. I can set these just fine, and don't get any X-related dependencies. However, if I were to use something like Portmanager, Portupgrade, etc, is there any way I can keep it from downloading these as well? On the subject of port managers, is manual port installation the prefered method of doing this anyway?
