Oh, thanks for the quick response. If possible I would suggest modifying the question to be more clear: (1) texlive-nox-base: Base programs for a TeX Live installation without X11 (2) texlive-base: Base programs for a TeX Live installation with X11 and/or say 'noX' or better 'no-X11'. As for responding - I have X11 so should have selected (2)? Thanks for great work on fink! Regards, Tom Thomas D.
