Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk There doesnt seem to be a simple way of doing this, and I was wondering If anyone would mind implementing such a thing. It would be nice if there were a variable analagous to the NOMANCOMPRESS in /etc/make.conf. NOMANFORMAT perhaps? This is one of the things that I miss from NetBSD. Formatted (compressed or not) come up _much_ faster on a slow machine such as mine. ;) Anyway, does anyone else desire such a thing? If it would take you less than 5 minutes, please spare me the work. ;) Later, Chris
