Cd to the portdir and type 'make config' to change your options. Type 'make= =20 rmconfig' to delete set options, if present. To change or delete the option= s=20 of all the dependencies of this port as well, type 'make config-recursive' = or=20 make 'rmconfig-recursive' respectively. To reset saved options, you can als= o=20 simply delete the respective directory below /var/db/ports. =2D-=20 ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --nextPart3133131.Gpqfcdqijz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCQCjBXhc68WspdLARAuPwAJ9QWrGmuNzG14++PLttMW1cPXKDEACbB9Pd VVj/Y4yg3DhS0eHFzkAzjTk= =m5+E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3133131.Gpqfcdqijz--
