Hi Danny,

Tks for your advice.

It is much faster.  After running about 3 hrs it goes
to;

===> Cleaning for mod_jk-apache2-1.2.2
===> www/mod_layout
===>  Cleaning for mod_layout-3.2.1
===> www/mod_layout2
===>  Cleaning for mod_layout-4.0.2a
===> www/mod_limitipconn
===>  Cleaning for mod_limitipconn-0.04_1
.....


What is the tag/syntax '-DNOCLEANDEPENDS'
representing?

To run:
# cd /usr/ports
# portsclean -CDD

Which of them will be faster.

B.R.
Stephen
