I guess, if the user is using a different prefix than /usr/local, the user knows more than the average, and will exchange /usr/local for their favourite prefix automatically in his/her mind while reading the message ;-) You're probably right, putting /usr/local instead would probably confuse a smaller amount of users :) -- Palle To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
