BTW, I have a question (and a wish;)) -- if I specify multiple ports to install and portmaster fails to resolve some of them it aborts. I wish it would go on and install whatever ports it could resolve. More background -- I have a list of ports I always install. Using a little script I concatenate this list and pass it to portupgrade or portmaster after fresh system install. Now if there's a port which for instance was moved portupgrade will skip it and install everything else. portmaster, on the other hand, would simply fail. :-( With regards, Martin
