No. What you do (after installing screen from the ports): 1. You log in to your unix machine. 2. You start screen by typing "screen" :) 3. You will get another prompt. You are now inside a screen terminal. You can start the build here or do whatever you want.. 4. Press Ctrl-A, then press d. 5. You will see "[detached]" and you are back to your login prompt. You can now logout and come back later. If you type "screen -r" you will be right in the screen where you were... You can also create new "screens" and switch between them (Ctrl-A, C to create; Ctrl-A space to switch)... "Ctrl-A ?" for more help! walter (who loves screen) -- Walter W.
