I seem to have given a 'make install' in the ../ports/www directory. During all this installation activity a number of popups passed across the screen. Interactive popups. Even so it took quite a while for me to figure out what had happened. I mean, this is a new box so a couple of popups is ok. And with the recurse and all, anything can happen. It was not until the Java Beans SDK was reported missing that I smelled something rotten in the state of Denmark. So this brings me to my small suggestion. Why not make it so that a simple Yes/No query will be asked (INTERACTIVE) in every non leaf directory? Questions will be asked anyway, so what does one (or several) more matter? Not having that question does. Believe you me . Roelof To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
