4.2.8. I want to leave the compile going overnight, but some ports don't like this.

There is a way around this. Before starting the compilation, type: 

	setenv BATCH yes # (if you use csh/tcsh) or
	BATCH=yes; export BATCH # (for sh/bash)
This should skip ports which need user interaction to build.

To compile those ports left out by doing the above, using a different login shell (or unsetting the above BATCH variable), set the INTERACTIVE variable instead (you can use the same statements as above except replace ``BATCH'' with ``INTERACTIVE'') and re-run make. This should now compile only those ports which will definitely ask for user interaction.
