Ooppss.. forgot to mention the solution to your newfs /usr/src, simply place your site specific make.conf at /usr. Like I said in the original, backtrack until make.conf is found, or you hit /. Or if you like you can always ln -s /etc/make.conf /usr/src/make.conf after your cvs co. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX @ CN85sl - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
