These can take a while to build. a good 3-6 hours depending on your hardware. and your MAKEOPTS in your make.conf... > > gary > > > > > ////jerry > > > > > > > > tia, > > > > > > gary > > > > > > > > > -- > > > Gary Kline kline@thought.org > www.thought.org Public service Unix > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > > > > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > > > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > -- > Gary Kline kline@thought.org > www.thought.org Public service Unix > -brian
