Would this mean that the /etc/make.conf file would get huge? I mean, most ports are fine with the defaults, but if I have 6 or 7 ports that I need to modify, wouldn't the makefile become rather large? Supposing I was to edit /etc/make.conf, how would I specify different options for different ports? Cheers and thanks, Rob -- There are trivial truths and there are great truths.
