No. The initial install options do not depend on what port management utility you are using. However, you do need to prepare for a possible future upgrade of the port that was installed with non-default compile options. If you are using portupgrade then you need to edit pkgtools.conf. If you are using portmanager then you need to edit pkgtools.conf or pm-020.conf. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
