Hi-- Just a note I wanted to bring up: Certain packages, like ytalk and emacs, are listed and available as ports for FreeBSD... I know these programs don't require X, but when I install them as packages from /stand/sysinstall, they complain about needing libXext.so.6.1 when I run them. Installing them as ports, some (like ytalk) insist that they need X11 installed for them to compile. Others (like emacs) will compile. My machine is a headless box that will never run graphics; I just thought I ought to bring this point up so you might put up an appropriate warning for those ports that can't be fixed, and possibly look into a fix for those which can be fixed...? Thanks-- I appreciate it! Brian
