I straight package install of links -g sure would be desirable since there is no package for links with x or with out it at the current time. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Warren Block Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2004 8:39 PM To: Robert Storey Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: the most light weight X web browser?

Any ideas? The man page for svgalib says that programs which use it must be setuid root. Sure enough: chmod u+s /usr/local/bink/links and it runs for other members of wheel besides root. (Note the security implications, though.) I modified the links Makefile so links can be built with X support, svgalib support, or neither. A copy has been sent to the port maintainer. With any luck, it'll be committed, so the build will be easier. (Apologies for an earlier spam bounce--hinet.net has been blocked here for years. I've removed them from my block list for now.) -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
