It will unbloat the cvs tree, the distributed binaries and the distributed sources. The binaries and sources will no longer have X code in them, the cvs src/ tree will no longer have X source in it, and the cvs ports area will only have port stubs. BTW - there are three X pieces that I am aware of now - xneko, xroach and gnu XChess. ((begin disclaimer)This is not a personal vendetta - I like the games - I just don't see why X stuff should be distributed with base FreeBSD (end disclaimer)) M -- Mark Murray 46 Harvey Rd, Claremont, Cape Town 7700, South Africa +27 21 61-3768 GMT+0200 Finger mark@grumble.grondar.za for PGP key
