"make install" does, well, what you guess from the name. It installs the port to your system (after downloading, configuring, compiling the proper programs, and all that). "make clean" will remove the temporary files that are created while the port infrastructure builds the program from source. Please, refer to the ports(7) manpage and the Handbook chapter on ports and packages for more information. -- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve -- http://www.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
