From the original post: ---------- Define DESTDIR to where you want to install FreeBSD, including /, to override this warning and proceed as usual. You may get the historical 'make world' behavior by defining HISTORICAL_MAKE_WORLD. You should understand the implications before doing this. ---------- What part in there doesn't make sense? :) It tells you right there "how to do what we told it to do". Seems like a lot of whining over nothing. -- Freddie Cash, LPIC-2 CCNT CCLP Network Support Technician School District 73 (250) 377-HELP [377-4357] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
