> Did you update your ports tree before attempting this? No. Thanks for the advice -- I'm new to FreeBSD. I started a 'portsupdate', but 5-6 times it's stopped asking for operator input. It puts out what is probably intended to be nicely formatted output, but in my emacs shell buffer ends up as a bunch of gobbledygook. I've typed 'ok' in response to each one and it's progressing, but slowly since I'm not at work to babysit it 24 hrs-a-day. I came in twice over the weekend to get it going again and had to start it again with an 'ok' this morning when I got in. I stopped it part way thru and tried the '-y' option that I found in the portsupdate man page, but that doesn't help -- it still sits and waits for my input. It would seem more reasonable to me to default to 'yes' rather that stopping to ask for input, but maybe I'm missing something. -- Doug
