Ok, I am really liking the ports collection, being new to freeBSD and all. But the one thing that gets in the way is my lack of knowledge in being able to configure the installations....either with .configure config files or with compiler switches. Can someone lead me to a resource that can help me understand how to configure my applications so that I can tweak my ports during installation? peace out /bob
