There's a number of "Error code 1"s in there. But at least I can read up on 'em in a more leisurely fashion.:c) > Unfortunately I am not familiar with instant-workstation port > ... it may be safer to leave [various port configure options] > as defaults. I *had* been pretty much doing that. The Postfix config screen, though, presents a screen full of alphabet soup options. It was late. I was tired. I should've known better. I came across instant-workstation late last year while using Greg Lehey's Complete FreeBSD book to install 5.0-Release on my wife's dual-boot (Windows ME). The port installs fifteen/sixteen sub-ports (acroread, gimp, kde, etc.), and the postfix one gets installed towards the end of the instant-workstation install. I suspect I now have to go into each sub-port and 'make clean,' since the inst.-work. didn't get that far. > * Cannibal's recipe book: How to Serve Your Fellow Man. Thanks again.
