Thanks, I would guess the default options for a package have changed to include X11 support, though that really is just a guess. You can use the following strings to see if the X11 option is set for any root-level packages installed on the system, and get a list of all root-level packages, respectively: $ pkg query -e '%#r = 0' %Ok | grep X11 $ pkg query -e '%#r = 0' %o See pkg-query(8) for more information on that. I'm still a bit new to it myself, hence my admittedly weak suggestions. In the long run though, the only way to ensure that certain classes of software *never* get installed is to build directly from ports, or use ports-mgmt/poudriere to build your own packages. -- ================================================================= :: Brandon Wandersee :: :: brandon.wandersee@gmail.com :: ================================================================== 'A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.' - Douglas Adams ==================================================================
