as so many folk build server-only, there must e a make.conf or whatever option to tell ports that you just do not want an x server or any of it's 500kg friends. but i can not seem to find it. i do cvsup-without-gui, emacs-nox11, etc. but one mistake with some port, and you get the whole boatload, and you can never scrape it all out. clue bat, please. randy
