Then I could see what ports it would build, say n when asked if I wanted to rebuild those ports, assuming there would be config dialogs along the line. Then I would run the portmaster command again with |& tee portm.log at the right end, see if I like what would be built before answering y. I would be able to login to another virtual terminal to examine portm.log file at the early stage when asked whether to rebuild the ports. Tom
