It would probably have made more sense to call the combined package simply mbmon, with a "make configure" step if you wanted it with X support - which means that the list of runtime dependencies would grow. The "x" in "xmobon" package naming therefore is a bit confusing, as it refers to the option of X support, not a default X support... -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
