But since I'm a bit short on time this This would be awesome. I notice some ports have a pop-up interface that lets you choose various options. Not being a port guru I'm not sure how it works, but perhaps it could be standardized and called automatically? For example, if you install the postfix port a popup comes up with check boxes asking whether you want LDAP, or to disable PCRE, and a bunch of other options... i wish more ports used this... it would make life easier. -- Tim Middleton | Cain Gang Ltd | I'd ha' been a better man all my life if x@veX.net | www.Vex.Net | I'd known there were things like this.
