What i really miss compared to 4.* and 5.3 (and compared to NetBSD and OpenBSD) is that there is a single package with a known name that can be downloaded and unpacked and you have a X11 environment to go. I have not searched the archives for the "when" and "why" of the decision to drop it. But its absence really hurts me. --steffen _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 /usr/ports/x11/kde/ Etc.
