If we consider /etc/{daily,weekly,monthly,rc.conf} :>etc etc etc being local, then what's the point of having their .local :>extensions? : :None :-). Don't consider them as local, since they do a lot by default. :make.conf OTOH contains only commented out defaults. : :Bruce commented out defaults, but it's still 6 KBytes worth of critical information that needs to get updated on every system update. If you don't want a make.conf.local then the supplied make.conf needs to be an empty file with some other file containing a list of all the features. Otherwise we have to update make.conf on every install. I like the make.conf.local idea better. -Matt Matthew Dillon Engineering, HiWay Technologies, Inc. & BEST Internet Communications (Please include original email in any response)
