This may qualify the most "stupid" question of the day, but I need to ask
since I haven't yet found the answer.

On all of the production boxes, I am running 4.5-RELEASE p-20 and have been
waiting to take the plunge on 4.7 after it settled down. Last night I
installed 4.7-RELEASE from an ISO on a test box. While the install went
smoothly, I noticed that a bunch of "XFree...." stuff is installed even
though I don't use nor want to run an "X" server, if this is what "XFree"
pertains to. Further, the first thing I did after the ISO install was to
CVSup and then found that a number of ports "needed updating" all related
to "XFree...". It's taking a HUGE amount of time to update things because
of this unwanted XFree stuff. None of this XFree stuff is on my 4.5 boxes.
First concern was I noticed the "f" version of cvsup-without-gui install
took a looonnnnggg time.

NOW FOR THE STUPID QUESTION:
What did I do wrong that started this alavanche of XFree installs...?? If
so, what do I do to stop it or correct it....??? Below is the list of ports
installed during the ISO original install. I'm running:
# portupgrade -Nai now and it's taking a hour to update the ports listed
below. It's still early in the install process, so I can start over (and
already have including placing "NO_X= true" in the make.conf file. I'm
assuming I need to place a statement somewhere else to stop this "X" stuff.

Any tips appreciated as I am concerned about the amount of wasted time
consumed with "X" installs.
