Hello! > Can someone tell me where to look for how to capture the console > screens that fly by in the port install process? Before starting the installation, issue this command: script /var/tmp/portinstall.log After finishing the installation (successfully or unsuccessfully), issue this command: exit Then you can read everything that was printed on the console during installation from the file /var/tmp/portinstall.log (which may be pretty large!). Unfortunately I am not familiar with instant-workstation port so I can't comment on that specific situation. My only idle thought is that if you are not sure what various port configure options do it may be safer to leave them as defaults. -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Cannibal's recipe book: How to Serve Your Fellow Man.
