If I had added only the packages requested on that run, one of them may have then requested the others. :)
Moving forward... Maybe I've got the wrong Idea, but I would have expected SUNWCreq to give me basically a working system, and as I said before if I want X11, the adding the SUNWCxwrte, and XSUNWCxsunserver clusters to give me X (With no GNOME or CDE, or Openwin desktop.) Next if I wanted GNOME I'd expect to add a GNOME cluster, for CDE a CDE cluster, etc. Right now, for some reason just to make the X11 Runtime happy, I've having to add 7 gnome packages. Some of which i can begrudgingly understand, but others that make no sense: SUNWCxwrte includes a package (XUNWxim I think.) that requires SUNWiiimu. SUNWiiimu requires: SUNWgnome-libs SUNWgnome-base-libs SUNWgnome-base-libs-root SUNWgnome-vfs SUNWgnome-config SUNWgnome-component SUNWgnome-panel Most of those I can find a relationship, but not SUNWgnome-vfs - What do input methods have to do with a virtual filesystem? (Then again why does a graphic desktop package need it's own virtual filesystem?) How does one install X11 without GNOME? Does SUNWiiimu really need everything in thsoe packages? or just a file here and there? Do I really need SUNWiiimu to keep SUNWxim happy? -Kyle
