Akinori, I'm wondering if your port tools have a way of seeing a dependancy tree? I think this would be amost useful feature. For instance, I run my FreeBSD server without X, however, many X packages get installed through packages during initial quick install. vim for instance, get's gtk etc. However, if I could see a dependancy tree, I could easily find what programs have X dependancies, remove the packages, and compile them by hand to get the no-X version. If there is no such feature, then I dearly recommend it. Daniel
