That sound's reasonable. But one might argue, that a good login environment could also be done by the configure scripts in the ports collection. Another thing is, that fvwm is certainly a nice, but not the only window manager, that's available for free. So what, if th user decides to use afterstep, then the .fvwmrc file is useless. Although I agree with you in most points, Jordan, I think, that this should move into ports. And I think xditview should stay, since FreeBSD uses groff. We shouldn't split the package or make a port of the complete groff package. But I'd vote for keeping groff in the source tree, but then complete. -- andreas@klemm.gtn.com /\/\___ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH Andreas Klemm ___/\/\/ Support Unix -- andreas.klemm@wup.de pgp p-key http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html >>> powered by <<< ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Printing/aps-491.tgz >>> FreeBSD <<<
