Everything seems to go along fine, it starts fetching all the packages it requires and then suddenly I see a download for X.org. This is a server system and there's no monitor attached so installing X is a bit pointless and a waste of time for me, but I don't know how to say "install this port *without* X dependancies" as this is the first time I've come across this problem (when I installed cvsup I used the -without-gui port so it wasn't a problem). I've searched around but the only relevant material I've managed to find is something about installing the JDK without X.org which seems to be specific to that case and all the other results seem to be about problems installing X which I don't want to do. I'm fairly new to BSD and I've never got this far setting up a system from scratch before (every other time I've stumbled somewhere on the way) so any advice/pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Paul -- Rogue Tory www.roguetory.org.uk
