Any volunteers?
While we are at it, WITHOUT_X11 really needs a WITHOUT_X11_SERVER subcase. There's precious little use for an X11 _server_ on many headless systems -- I don't say "all" because someone might want VNC even on a headless box -- but they may well want some X11 _clients_. I'd consider volunteering if not for ENOTIME -- I'm having enough trouble finding time to get an 8.x system set up "the way I want it" before my current (6.1) box dies of old age. (The principal problem involves either a geom issue or, much more likely, my misunderstanding of how that part of geom works. The same trace code will work equally well to clear up either case :) _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
