Well, there are many ports which depend unconditionally upon X. If you install one of them (or some other port which depends on one of them) you will get X, no questions asked. WITHOUT_X11 is useful for those ports which have an optional dependency upon X, but that is all it does. There does not exist any flag which tells the ports-system to refuse to build any ports which depend on X, which seems to be what you want. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
