Well, last time I tried to compile one of Firefox's recent versions from ports, it demanded to have access to X during the "make" stage. That was the point I decided _not_ to continue (as the system in question didn't have X). Maybe I did something wrong, maybe I should have dealt with building options more carefully. But anyway, you type "make" and the intended web browser wants to access X? >From within a UID=0 session? Hmmm... On the other hand, installing google's Chromium browser went through without that kind of annoying trouble. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
