Hiya everyone,

I wonder if anyone can answer what is probably a very basic question. I've been
reading some BSD documentation and often it will say in regard to installing
a port something like "simply change /usr/ports/the-port-you-want-to-install
and run 'make install'". I have always used the command "make install". However
lately I've seen a lot of documentation say to use the command 'make && make
install' what's the difference and which should one use??

Best Regards,

Allan.
