I just heard a most interest tale of woe. A new user installing 4.3-Release wanted some ports. I gave him specific instructions, in writing, on how to build those ports. For some reason he ignored the step to cd to the specific port and did essentially: cd /usr/ports make The system dutifully started making all the ports in alphabetical order for quite a few hours until he finally ran out of disk space. Is this feature really useful or something that is a byproduct of useful features? I ask to be sure that there was a delebriate decision for this to happen. -- -- Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
