I could live with that. The stuff in make.conf probably belongs in a man-page anyway rather then an /etc file, and removing make.conf from /usr/src/etc or blanking it allows /etc/make.conf to be used in a manner similar to rc.local. Now, does anyone have any objects to moving make.conf to a man page and blanking /usr/src/etc/make.conf ? -Matt :-- :Brian Cully :``And when one of our comrades was taken prisoner, blindfolded, hung : upside-down, shot, and burned, we thought to ourselves, `These are the : best experiences of our lives''' -Pathology (Joe Frank, Somewhere Out There) : : Matthew Dillon Engineering, HiWay Technologies, Inc. & BEST Internet Communications (Please include original email in any response)
