I think I missed something on this thread, but I am still not clean about the 'stuck on config window' thing. Personally, I have preconfigured all of the ports I have installed on my system. Now I just have: /etc/make.com [...] BATCH=yes and everything build just fine. Obviously, you can place the 'BATCH' directive in the environment also. Actually, the only problem I use to experience was with Apsfiler. I wrote the maintainer and I believe that they corrected the problem. Yes, I definitely prefer 'portmanager' over portmaster although that is a nice light weight program. -- Gerard Mail from '@gmail' is rejected and/or discarded here. Don't waste your time!
