I, personally, have never used it. The emacs port wants XFree86 installed. It is not currently installed on my new box due to the KISS protocol. Do I want to add another 40MB of bloat just to enable a little used editor/environment that also fits into the bloatware category? Is it safe to have X installed on a public access system? Is emacs safe in these circumstances? 1) linewraps ... 2) rtfMakefile. :) From /usr/ports/editors/emacs/Makefile: .if !defined(NO_X11) CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-x-toolkit --sharedstatedir=/var/run USE_XLIB= yes .else CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-x=no --sharedstatedir=/var/run .endif So, set your NO_X11 environment variable then make install. :) -d -- dannyman - http://www.dannyland.org/~dannyman/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
