Meanwhile, go get a $BEVERAGE, get comfortable, and actually _read_ the portmaster man page, don't just skim through it. I put a lot of effort into explain what portmaster does, how it does it, and also WHY it does things the way it does. Most (if not all) of your questions are answered there. > If I issue this command I know exactly that I can go out, have a > drink, cook some dinner and unlock my workstation the next day and > find that everything completed unless a port failed to build. You should be able to accomplish this with portmaster. hth, Doug -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/ Computers are useless.
