Hi,

What i do is
make config-recursive
make install clean

The make config-recursive will go through all the depending ports and
set the options, this is the only time you set the options and when
you'll have to be at the keyboard. Then when you do a make install
clean, it wont ask for the options anymore since you've already set
them.

I hope it helps

Cheers
