What I know works is that I can go to /usr/ports/net/foo, su, make, and so both make and make install run as root. Or am I missing something? Is there already an option to "run" ports out of the built/work directory, instead of make installing them? - Jay To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
