Obviously I'm losing here - perhaps this really is a non-issue, but what about KDE ports? X ports? What about in the future when there are a dozen things like this? I think it would be nice to be able to set the other way around - things you DO want instead of a potentially huge exclusion list that requires extra effort to stay on top of. SIMPLE_PORTS_ONLY for example - then if only the nasty ones refused to install when it was set... Anyway, I'm not looking for any more preventative workaround methods, and repeating this `use WITHOUT_GNOME' over and over isn't helping me at all. I was hoping for two things: 1) A generic way of avoiding this. 2) A way to clean up AFTER my DNS server has been transformed into a complete X Window workstation with KDE, Gnome, CUPS, and GhostScript. portupgrade was suggested - perhaps it will be one of the answers I was looking for... now I just need to set up a machine to test-desecrate with gaim. -Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
