Just a thought as I also have alot of flags like that in make.conf Ta, Joe ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Removing "modules" from the Userland
Hi! I installed the 6.2-RC1 version but now I have decided to remove the profiled libraries and I know that for that purpose I have to add the line "NO_PROFILE=" to the make.conf before the "make world" action. My doubt is if I reinstall or upgrade the Userland without this option or anyone (let's say Kerberos, Sendmail.. etc) that I have already installed, these options are going to be removed, or simply are not going to be upgraded and/or reinstalled again.
