Yep. I've been doing this on the command line for user installs for a while.. There's only so many times you can type things like: make BINOWN=`id -u` BINGRP=`id -g` SHAREOWN=`id -u` ... NO_FSCHG=y .... .... installworld .. before going crazy. Having a single knob to do it would be much more convenient. -- Peter Wemm - peter@wemm.org; peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com; KI6FJV "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 "If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution." -- Robert Sewell
