One of them was even planning to write an "is this file part of a package" utility to search /var/db/pkg and let you know whether deleting a given file was going to impact any registered application(s). I am sure we could arrange a few (5-10) committed hours a week to help with this sort of thing. You want? Also, I talked to Keith Packard about his microX server (one server for all resolutions, no acceleration, no config files, around 50K total size) at USENIX. Do we want to revisit the idea of an optional X based installer that uses his code as a basis? -- Jack Rusher, Senior Engineer | mailto:jar@integratus.com Integratus, Inc. | http://www.integratus.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
