On all my systems, I throw xterm and emacs, as the primary tools I use for management, but the display is always remote, I never, ever, run X on the machine, but still it install X server, fonts and a lot of useless junk like xcalc. Is there a way to install xterm and only the libraries that are needed to run xterm? TIA, Olivier I've been doing this for years. What's the problem? Just install xterm, or whatever you need. All the necessary libs will be pulled in, e.g.: $ pkg info -xd xterm xterm-293: xproto-7.0.24 xextproto-7.2.1 renderproto-0.11.1 printproto-1.0.5 libxcb-1.9.1 libXrender-0.9.8 libXpm-3.5.10 libXp-1.0.2,1 libXext-1.3.2,1 libXdmcp-1.1.1 libXau-1.0.8 libX11-1.6.0,1 libSM-1.2.1,1 libICE-1.0.8,1 kbproto-1.0.6 libXt-1.1.4,1 libXmu-1.1.1,1 libXaw-1.0.11,2 libXft-2.3.1 fontconfig-2.9.0,1 expat-2.0.1_2 freetype2-2.4.12_1 pkgconf-0.9.2_1 pcre-8.33 libpthread-stubs-0.3_3 Obviously xterm does not depend on xorg-server.
