What is in the Makefile doesn't have anything to do with installing the package from sysinstall on the first disc of the 4 CD sets. From ports/mail/pine4/pkg-install: if [ "$2" = "POST-INSTALL" -o -n "${PACKAGE_BUILDING}" ]; then exit 0 fi As I said in this case it is PACKAGE_BUILDING that when defined would cause the interactive nature on install to stop. However there are other ports that use BATCH. These variables are really only intended to be used for machines that do package builds however as I've suggested several times now, these can be over- loaded by sysinstall to control install interaction as well by adding something like the following two lines to sysinstall. setenv("PACKAGE_BUILDING", "t", 1); setenv("BATCH", "t", 1); -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
