Hi, I just loaded XFree86-4 from the ports tree on my laptop, running 5.2.1-RELEASE. It took about 2.5 gigs of space to compile and add it all. Let's say I have a small hard drive in an old laptop, and let's also assume that I am just loading X to just have a simple GUI to run opera and terminal windows on, and don't need a big fancy X server or whatever ... What are some options I can add to the standard `make install` command for that port to significantly reduce the size of X ? Any general comments on making a smaller/faster/more efficient X for an old laptop are greatly appreciated. thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
