Re: X client without X server
You can remove leaf ports using pkg_cutleaves once everything is installed. You can even remove pkg_cutleaves with pkg_cutleaves if you don't want it anymore.

But the days of limited RAM, small hard drives, etc...are long since behind us. My concern is when portupgrade -a. The more ports on the system, the more likely the upgrade will fail. So I'd prefer to have as little unused ports as possible. Not to mention that security wise, having unused ports sitting there is not too good.

HP ILO FreeBSD 8.3 Installation problem
Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD with an HP ILO 4 advanced, web interface. I tried to install FreeBSD 8.2, FreeBSD 8.3 and FreeBSD 8.4. I tried to use acd0 and cd0 as media. I got the same result. ERROR: I'm trying to add freebsd8.3iso from ILO such as virtual drive not from cd or dvd. In Screeshot: Error: mounting /dev/acd0 on /dist: Input/output error (5) other ERROR: Unable to initialize selected media. Would you like to adjust your media configuration and try again? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Same here, boot from MFS, gpart manually, install manually, works like a charm. I actually do it for all our installs now, the procedure is quite scriptable. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: X client without X server
Hi, Is there a way to install an X client without automatically install an X server? I don't use emacs, but you can quickly check, prior to installing, what other ports will be required, e.g. do make -C /usr/ports/ search name=emacs-24 After doing my homework, it seems that it happened only some years ago. I have some very old systems, that I have been upgrading again and again, without reconstructing from scratch; the old systems are carrying xorg-server along. On the newer machines that I installed, there is only X clients, no X servers. So the problem was only an old problem, I apologize for disturbing.
