I don't want a lot of packages installed, let alone xorg.
If you don't want X, you should have "-X" in your USE flags in make.conf. It looks like you've pulled in xterm and some other X stuff, so you'll need to "emerge -C" those too, otherwise they'll keep pulling in dependencies that include X. On my console-only systems, I usually have several USE flags to help keep the crap off. Some examples of USE flags that are in the default that I remove: -X -kde -gnome -qt -gtk -gtk2 -arts -cups -foomaticdb -motif -opengl -svga -truetype -xmms. -Eric -- arctic bears - email and dns services http://www.arcticbears.com -- [email protected] mailing list
