So I removed all gui ports, including all of gnome and XFree86. Done. Now, I'm wondering if there is any reason I shouldn't just delete /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11? Aren't they just taking up space? Are those directories part of the a base FreeBSD 4.x install? Are there other X11-related directories that I could wipe as well? Thanks!
