If you don't mind the _time_ required for building those ports (and taking into mind that the disk space occupied doesn't even matter as disks are big and cheap today), you don't have to _enable_ CUPS if you're actually _not_ using it. That would be "disabling" them. :-) Sadly, there's no really comfortable way of not _building_ them as they are (almost "hardcoded"!) dependencies for other ports you might be using. There are some config screens (see "make config" and "make config-recursive" or portmaster's --force-config option) where you _might_ have the chance to de-select some of those ports so they won't build. But as I said, that depends on the "primary" ports you're using and their dependencies. You know, "by accident", you could even install LaTeX (teTeX) as a dependency! :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
