uninstall xorg libraries for a server
Hi all,
I have a freebsd 7.0 server, with various xorg libraries (i.e. libXrandr, libFS, libXaw, libXprintAppUtil, libxkbui, etc,. and many others) I do have WITHOUT_X11=yes in make.conf, not sure how all these got installed. I've checked a few of these libraries with "pkg_info -R" and many of them are not required by any other port. This server is a remote server and does not have a monitor, we only log into it via ssh. Is it safe to just pkg_deinstall these ports? Is there a danger that something might break that prevents us from logging in remotely, or that it will not boot up completely at next restart (planning on 7.1 update, and kernel recompile) Thanks, -- adrian |

I hope you read the fbsd-stable mailing list and understand the risk of upgrading from 7.0 to 7.1.
For example Big problems with 7.1 locking up :-( or FreeBSD 7.1 Breaks re and rl Network Interface Drivers. I haven't used FreeBSD ports for some time, but I know that on OpenBSD many ports require the X libs to build/compile things. Why remove those libs?, just to save a little disk space?
