The ports collection is awesome, but whilst trying to install XFCE I get prompted about every fifteen seconds to chose options for some dependent package that is getting installed. I don't know a damned thing about these options and I'm just choosing the defaults. Turns out you can make install with defaults and without those pesky prompts by using the -DBATCH flag like this...
