Most of the programs like xeyes etc. are not needed, it is ridiculous to install a port for each! Plus, most people are not happy to add ~400 more ports to their FreeBSD boxes. I even read that somebody is planning to change to Linux because of this mess. Is this a planned change? I think the whole idea of xorg going to seperate packages was reducing the size and modularize xorg. When we install all anyhow, makes no sense at all. Thanks, Evren
