How about fixing the option descriptions? I would be glad if some native speaker could come up with better descriptions that fit into the maximum length. For now I just try to describe what the options do: QT4 QT4 frontend DEBUG Additional logging and a lot of asserts DBUS DBUS+HAL and we need this for Host CD/DVD access PULSEAUDIO PulseAudio sound output X11 Provides an SDL frontend and is required for QT4 frontend VDE Virtual Distributed Ethernet driver (http://vde.sourceforge.net/) VNC VNC server support WEBSERVICE SOAP backend used by eg www/phpvirtualbox NLS NLS support for the QT4 frontend -- Bernhard Fröhlich http://www.bluelife.at/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-emulation-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
