Hi all,

Apologies in advance for what might be a dumb question - but I have =
searched Readmes, UPDATE, Handbook, FAQ, Google, without finding the =
answer ...

In FreeBSD 4, there was a /etc/defaults/make.conf; and a /etc/make.conf =
with my own make overrides.

But when I install FreeBSD 5.2.1, there is no make.conf in the =
/etc/defaults directory. Also, /etc/make.conf only contains a couple of =
lines; nothing about CFLAGS, CPUTYPE, MASTERSORTREGEX etc.

Was there a deliberate design change in 5.x to remove the default =
make.conf? And if so, can I just use a make.conf from one of my 4.x =
boxes copied to /etc/make.conf? Or should I now specify my make =
over-rides in some new way?

Many thanks for any guidance!
Andrew
