<title>Reconfiguring Ports</title>
<para>When building certain ports, you may be presented with a
ncurses-based menu from which you can select certain build options.
It is not uncommon for users to wish to revisit this menu to add,
remove, or change these options after a port has been built. There
are many ways to do this. One option is to go into the directory
containing the port and type <command>make</command>
<maketarget>config</maketarget>, which will simply present the menu
again with the same options selected. Another option is to use
<command>make</command> <maketarget>showconfig</maketarget> which
will show you all the configuration options for the port. Yet
another option is to execute <command>make</command>
<maketarget>rmconfig</maketarget> which will remove all selected
options and allow you to start over. All of these options, and
others, are explained in great detail in in the man page for
&man.ports.7;.</para>
