Hi All! I just had a quick question regarding the ppc "user experience". When I'm on the video console and I'm downloading updates or packages (ie. when compiling a port and it fetches source, etc...) The progress prints/echoes to the screen line by line. For example, instead of showing the progress as an increasing percentage on a single line, it prints a progress line for each percentage completed. I don't remember this behaviour being standard on my x86 (i386) install. Is there a reason for this? Is this something I can set in environment variables or elsewhere? It's pretty annoying to have an entire screen go by with 100 lines of "1% 2% 3% 4% etc..." - and yes, I know I can go back up and look at it, but that's not the point ;-) Thanks! - Jeff
