Personally though I find doing # find /usr/ports -name work and then cd(1)'ing to each found path (i.e. the parent of the found work dir) and doing ``make clean'' there is faster, you don't end up doing ''make clean'' in every port and it's dependencies. > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message -- Microsoft: Where do you want to go today?
