If that's really the case, maybe rm -rf /usr/X11R6 is the best way if you do not need X at all. Although I don't find it a very clean way to get rid of it ;) May break some dependencies or so too. But try it, if it screws up, you still have the chance to reinstall X and deinstall it cleanly afterwards.. hmmm -- Andreas "ant" Ntaflos ntaflos.andreas@gmx.net Vienna, AUSTRIA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
