I realize pkg_add will install dependencies but what is a yp.conf and doesn't it already know I changed "linux_enable" to YES and might pkg_add be fearing that I will now club it with a broken pipe? > Peter, I've never used pkg_add, nor have I ever let KDE touch my FreeBSD boxen, so I don't know what's wrong with that.

If you don't use it, odds are there's even no yp.conf in /compat/linux/etc/. and if there's one, it's completely benign: a config file that's not used can't do any harm.

Is it similar to the usage of ";" but instead issues the command after the "&&" at the result of the "cd?" That is, does the double ampersand cause your shell (which is..?) to not execute the make command in the current working dir (cwd)? > -- > FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE > 10:43AM up 8 days, 21:02, 11 users, load averages: 0.07, 0.03, 0.01 -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
