A while ago we had a few people here expressing frustration with
nethack (the game). Either they installed from the package and
it wouldn't run, or they couldn't build the port on a system without X.
A small fix for the package has been submitted, and might be avialable
soon. A simpler way could be to install the port instead.
In order to learn about ports (that's my excuse) I've been pulling the
nethack port apart, and I think I've worked out how to make it X-less
and add a few improvements for the hardware-challenged among us. There
doesn't seem to be enough interest in low-tech computing to add yet
another nethack port, so if you are having this problem (can't build
nethack because it requires X), please let me know. If I stop
responding to email you'll know it blew up in my face :-)
If you have specific questions about nethack, especially where I could
give a technically incorrect response, please write to me and cc:
freebsd-questions@freebsd.org (not -newbies).
