If you know which ports you want to install on your system, you can do a `make configure' for each port (where it is availeable) and then have a skript fire up the `make install's. I'm not sure though if that works recursively, i.e. you run `make configure' for e.g. the Gnome meta port and you configure all the dependencies with that one command. Why don't you try it? ;-) If you think the default options are ok for you, you can add a line like "BATCH=yes" in /etc/make.conf and the ports will be built w/o any user interaction. Very useful for large builds. HTH, Phil.
