As someone else has pointed out, the NO_'s outnumber NO in make.conf anyways, so if you are going to make a change, go to NO_*. There is also a precedent for using _'s in make variables in other variable names as well: MAKE_KERBEROS4 MAKE_KERBEROS5 MACHINE_ARCH USA_RESIDENT MODULES_WITH_WORLD MAKE_IDEA etc. etc. -- John Baldwin <jhb@bsdi.com> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
