I don't have a problem with portmaster, which I don't really =20 understand although if I see it again I will definitely do some =20 maintenance on the make.conf. I would like to ask if there is a =20 current list of options somewhere. I just go adding to the file from =20 problems seen on the mailing list or in the Makefile and to not have =20 to remember to set the option at build time. I'm sure there is =20 probably a better way. Thanks for your confirmation of the issue. ed > > Kris >
