I would try using packages to install window managers while checking things= =20 out. You really do not gain that much by installiing things like this from= =20 ports performance wise (that is unless you are using aggressive compile tim= e=20 optimizations or passing non-standard variables to configure), once you fin= d=20 what WM you find most usable you can always remove the packages and install= =20 your windowmanger of choice from ports. -p --=20 ~~o0OO0o~~ Pete Wright www.nycbug.org <http://www.nycbug.org>; NYC's *BSD User Group
