Hi I was just wondering, what is the motivation behind the GUI configuration for some ports? Simply put, they drive me up the wall. I've lost count of the number of times I've come back to a big install to find it hanging on a config screen. Possibly I'm missing something. The apache22 port is the latest one to join this crowd, although there is an option to skip the GUI. I'm much happier using WITH_PROXY_MODULES or whatever, and managing everything in pkgtools.conf. What is the best way to pre-configure GUI-configured ports? For example, if I want to script an installation of several ports. I've seen this: <http://www.freshports.org/misc/dotfile/>, is it what I'm after? Thanks for any advice Ashley -- blog @ http://aviewfromafar.net/ linked-in @ http://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleymoran currently @ work
