-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Amongst the basic X libs and GNOME support, you're also getting the "gnome-fifth-toe" meta-port, which installs a whole slew of useful apps - depending upon your definition of "useful." If you wish to avoid installing all these, you can go navigate through the package tree and install x11/gnome. that is also a meta-port, but it only installs the basic stuff necessary for a gnome desktop. X will get installed automatically, but you'll need to install sawfish yourself. If you install the x11/gnome2 port, you get sawfish with it no additional charge. Or you could just let it install all the other apps and then delete them when it's finished ::) - -Adam >> (10.16.2002 @ 1655 PST): Rafter Man said, in 0.6K: << > Hey Subcribers > > I have installed FreeBSD 4.7 on my com (mini installation) and now want to install X window and Gnome.
